  3. Why are they allowed to get in on sweetheart real estate deals? Why are their spouses allowed to get rich off lucrative Chinese deals? Why is the husband of the Sec. of State allowed to be paid massive sums for "speeches?" Why is the Sec. of State allowed to have a slush fund, ie "Foundation", that foreign governments contribute vast sums to?

    How did Harry Reid get so rich when he worked on a government salary his entire life?

  5. Cattle futures are good if stock trading is banned.

    Hillary made over 100K on her first and only cattle futures trade.

    Probably she lurks on ET.
