A Chilly Breeze

A chilly breeze wove its way through hell today as the Senate approved a bill that would prohibits lawmakers and government workers from benefitting from insider trading.
The Senate passed a sweeping new ethics bill on Thursday that would ban insider trading by members of Congress and require prompt disclosure of stock transactions by lawmakers and by thousands of officials in the executive branch of government.
Whether this is an “ethics bill” or not is questionable (can placing themselves on the same level as regular folk be seen as some sort of huge ethics victory?), but I’ll take it.
