Focusing on Congresspeople is painting the bikeshed when the house is on fire. Congress made insider trading legal for Congress. These Congressmen are immoral, but it's legal for them. Most of the non-Congress government people who got rich did so through legal revolving doors and bullshit speaking/book deals. It's fine to shame these people, but it's not going to make a difference, because they got rich "legally". They need to focus on medicare/medicaid and social security fraud, then work down the next line-items in the budget. Putting modern fraud detection and transaction blocking into the government will cut the spending by 33% at least. They also need to put the federal reserve under a microscope and push for a change to the federal reserve act.
