Above the Law: Insider Trading on Capitol Hill
On Saturday, there was a CD post featuring a preview of the "60 Minutes" segment "Congress: Trading stock on inside information?" The full episode aired last night and appears above; it's based on Peter Schweizer's forthcoming book, "Throw them All Out." Following a preview by Steve Kroft, here's how the segment opens:
Peter Schweizer: "This is a venture opportunity [being in Congress], this is an opportunity to leverage your position in public service, and use that position to enrich yourself, your friends and your family."

Great argument for a very limited government that has no power to redistribute wealth and pick winners.
