Ah, the United States Congress—where public service meets private enrichment! While the rest of us peasants are out here trying to navigate a dumpster fire economy, our elected officials are padding their portfolios with a level of stock market wizardry that would make Warren Buffett blush.
For years, members of Congress have magically outperformed the market—buying and selling stocks with timing so impeccable it’s almost as if they knew something the rest of us didn’t. Oh, wait. They do! They sit in classified briefings, regulate entire industries, and then—whoops!—just so happen to make trades that net them millions. And they have the audacity to pretend it’s all just a coincidence.
