Did they just get smart a finance after being elected? Or are they corrupt?  How do they become stock experts after getting in Congress. DOGE  Investigate and send so people to prison, or give them the death penalty for treason.

Musk said he was going to release the behind-the-scenes methods that they are using. He is still compiling evidence. It's mostly illegal.

Here's a clear definition of what it is.
The question is, how often have these rules been enforced...?

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/in ... ing.aspKey Takeaways
  • Insider trading involves buying or selling a publicly traded company's stock based on nonpublic, material information about that company.
  • Material, nonpublic information is any undisclosed information that could substantially impact an investor's decision to buy or sell a security.
  • Illegal insider trading carries severe penalties, including potential fines, prison time, and other penalties.
  • Insider transactions occur all the time and are legal when they conform to the rules set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
  • The SEC requires insiders to file reports of their trades, which are publicly available.

The latter.

They got insider a staff plus in Washington DC our Federal Government run by "K-Street" thats where Lobbyists, Lawyers, even retired politicians go look up "K-Street" Wash-Dc.

Thats where real "Favors" & $$$ changes Hands Vote this way a Policy.

Perfectly "Legal" for the most part too the way our Laws are "Codified"

For those of ya got the "Brains Of A Fly"

This is "K" Street Washington/DC..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_Street_ ... n,_D.C.%29


"K Street is a major thoroughfare in the United States capital of Washington, D.C., known as a center for lobbying and the location of numerous advocacy groupslaw firmstrade associations, and think tanks. In political discourse, "K Street" has become a metonym for lobbying in the United States, the same way Wall Street in New York City became a metonym for the U.S. financial markets, since many lobbying firms are or traditionally were located on the section in Northwest Washington which passes from Georgetown through a portion of Downtown Washington, D.C"

Ross Perot touched on this as well during his "Failed" 1992 Campaign.

Yet today we got the same bad issues times" ten-fold" nowadays because we "Never" Fixed It when it was still "Manageable" back then

Yet some people this day "Blame" Ross Perot why Bill Clinton won..

Back in 1992 our National Debt was only Four Trillion dollars but back then still "Manageable"

Today we have broken well beyond the "Stratosphere" as far as Debt something like 30/40 "Trillon" with a capital "T" nowadays

I would also like 2 point out something most people dont really "Understand".

Inflation the Rising Prices is a direct "Result" the Federal Reserve Bank and Treasury Department has to "Monetize" Washingtons "Defecits".

What they do is print more $$$ and Dollars so prices gotta go up 2 "compensate" less VALUE of a "USA Dollar"
