       @stux It’s as though the House Speaker wants us to believe that our representatives have never heard of mutual funds or index funds. Their investments could rise or sink with the nation’s markets more broadly. But that would be too easy. The blatant corruption in prediction markets just highlights the preexisting corruption of insider trading.

       @stux my 30 year-old daughter finally, after long searching, just got a full-time job that will pay 32k a year. I don't want to hear someone moaning about making ends meet with 174k plus perks.

       @stux My solution is bigger but... All their net worth goes into a trust that only buys index funds.They raise all boats or they get nothing.

       @stux most members of congress actually work damn hardgiven how much temptation they are subject to in the form of bribes, both direct and indirect, it would be good to increase their salary, a lot

       @stux Since Vought told the GOP in 2010 not to elect leaders (the quote and source are out there will add if requested), the toddlers are all there in congress following in the footsteps of their higher-up toddlers.
