STOCK Act Signed

[MomentsofSanity]

You guys realize this thread is a year old, right?

Yes but the quiet rollback of some of its provisions just occurred.

Go away troll...

You bring back a year old thread and somehow try to blame the democrats and Obama.

Would it make you feel that much better if he had more accurately stated "Democrats, Obama, AND Republicans"? If so, there ya go bud just for you.

You stupid fucks do realize that The Obama just signed the bill which undoes the transparency that he promised?

If you'd all take your partisan blinders off, maybe you'd realize that it's not a Slim Jim you're sucking on...

Does the Act, as passed, do anything concerning the spouses of politicians?

Or was Cantor successful in creating a loophole?

Probably for him and Pelosi. Wasn't this whole bill proposed because of the crap Pelosi got into?

No different from the elephant in yours. Democrats and Republicans both should be ashamed.

It seems we have found something that both sides can support, being above the law.

I was addressing my comments more to the people who were quoting year-old posts as if they had been posted today. I figured you knew what you were doing, as you were the person who bumped the thread in the first place (without the courtesy of announcing why you were bumping an old thread just to tip people off). But don't let that interrupt your profanity-laced tirade and insults.

Well the election is over so he doesn't have to try to look good any more. Now it can be about making money. :\

I just wanted to note that the only place I have seen this new update being talked about was on the daily show.

Pretty fucking sad.

Maybe I'm missing something here (admittedly I'm not very familiar with the Act), but I don't see why it is necessarily or desirable for congressional staffers to submit their personal financial info into a searchable public database.

You don't see a conflict of interest when legislators who have the power to choose economic winners and losers are able to hide their financial ties to those corporations?

So...

While Democrats are posturing on the gun control debate, what is congress really up to?

There's more of that transparent government that Obama promised.

Well isnt that special.

My understanding was the stricken provision was for federal officials and congressional staffers to disclose. That seems excessive.

And I'm sure there's no games that can be played with those rules...
