Sign an Executive Order barring all members of Congress from profitting by failing to address the Fiscal Cliff.

Created by M.W. on December 10, 2012

Given there are no hinderances in place to prevent Insider Trader by members of Congress or the Executive Branch. There is an immediate need to remove the ability of members of Congress and the Executive Branch from failing to perform their duties and while doing so profit from that failure. Congress and the Executive Beanch should not be allowed to profiteer by "shorting" the Stock Market with the full knowledge that they have no intent to address the Cliff. They should also be disallowed from "longing" the market post-Cliff when they do come to an agreement. In short, Congressional and Executive investments should be frozen until 90-days after the Cliff is addressed.
