What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

The face of corruption in the U.S. Senate

Two things about this story:


One: How did he know to sell?


Two: Did he use insider information.


Oh; there is a third question, isn’t there:


Being on the Intelligence Committee did he know that the United States government labs are responsible for creating this deadly virus?


Why didn’t this wealthy Republican Senator share the information he had with the public so everyone could have bailed out of the stock market like he did... so much for being concerned about the welfare of the people and the economy...


Oh... the economy:


Since these politicians knew what was coming why didn’t they take measures to defend the economy instead of just worrying about their own stock portfolios?


Lots of criminal activity requiring a Congressional investigation here...


But!


Did a bunch of members of Congress look out for their own personal fortunes before considering the well-being of the country?


And is that why there hasn’t been one peep about the need for an investigation into all of this blatant corruption?



Richard Burr belongs in prison and so do those others who committed the same crime. This is one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history.
