The salary of a Congress person is inconsequential.
They make their money other ways.
Even CNBC writes that Congressmen score “market crushing” investment returns with insider info.
That’s why people spend millions to campaign for a job that pays thousands.
We have long had laws, criminal and civil, against insider trading. They are rarely if ever enforced against CongressCritters. Perhaps the comprehensively incomprehensible legislation should include a special exemption from non-prosecution for CongressCritters.
