      Yeah, actually, they do get to the point. Here it is:

      “One of the reasons we have these financial disclosures is to know whether politicians are having financial difficulties—which could make them ripe for influence buying,” Libowitz said.

      I’d say that’s cause for concern, and a reason to look a little more closely at what our newest Speaker is up to.

      Full disclosure of financial assets does matter. And the financial activities of Congress are extremely important to interpret how they vote and what issues they pursue!
