Ah the house speaker way of making money..
Pretty much
Except they and their ilk know before you. By the time the public gets to know what they're sending to the Ukies, the politicians and bankers have already bought all the cheap shares.
You might get to make a few pennies on their dollars. That is until the EU goes ahead and increases the fees for small stock buyers.
May as well open up a small stock trading company, they aren't going to change capital gains taxes anytime soon.
Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex. Eisenhower pussed out at the last minute and crossed out "Congressional" just before his speech.
Did he really or is that just a comment?
The National archives copy has "military-industrial", but it also has notes on it for changes, like it wasn't the final draft. There are arguments that Ike wanted to say the phrase, and arguments that he never uttered the phrase.
Ike wrote a lot about how the "revolving door" between military, industry and government needed to be closed, so I believe that he wanted to use the term, but was afraid that it would blow up in his face.
Based on what we've seen today, I can see his fear was real. Thank you for telling me this.
