All the politicians have insider info on stocks and investments. That's how they have all become multi millionaires.
When will normal people realize that politicians don't care about anybody but themselves. All they want from us "joe blows" is our money to spend as they see fit and our votes come election time.

Nearly all politicians (at the federal level) were multi-millionaires before they enter politics. It's the only way to afford to run a campaign.

Like our current president? Like Obama? Like Harry Reid? Like Bill and Hillary Clinton?

Yeah well, the Pelosi's have done quite well for themselves......

"Pelosi’s 1987 disclosure form shows her assets were at least $3.64 million. Her liabilities were at least $965,000, but because of the way reporting was done then, the top end of the range is not clear." - https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jul/07/instagram-posts/post-about-pelosis-and-trumps-wealth-gains-while-o/

As have the Obama's and Clinton's who have leveraged their stories pretty well.

But that's post-presidency --- marketing their name, not selling favors of the office.

Correct. The jury is still out on Biden. Above the table he hasn't done very well. Who knows what else is there.
