Huge Number of Congressmen Trade in Stocks in Companies on Bills

(And that folks, is how its done.  Keep an eye on portfolios.  I bet if one were to take a look, trading for Bechtel, Caterpillar, URS just to name three, is hopping.  They make money on speculation during the political process of infrastructure (Conveyance and Rail just to name two).  Whether they actually get the contract or not, they've made millions of dollars in profits just on the rumor which facilitates insider 'pump and dumps'.  Still seems unethical to me.)
