Ban On Insider Trading By Lawmakers

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/02/09/146644196/ban-on-insider-trading-by-lawmakers-passes-house-heads-to-obamas-desk?sc=17&f=1001

No doubt Congress will tout their "productiveness" on this issue.  

Shouldn't Congress have to follow the rules that are set forth for government employees?  The answer, as always, is no.  They set one set of rules for them and one set for the plebeians.

I have to say I am surprised they passed it.  However, note the exclusion of family members fin the ban.  That way they can pass a law that is aesthetically pleasing while being easily able to circumvent it.
