ODDLY, this diary has been removed from the Most Commented list on Daily Kos. Censored? Very odd, indeed. Still, the more people ask this question, the better. For that matter, check out your own Congress people and look at their assets.

A little background to explain the $12,000,000 government bailout of Domino's Pizza.

In 1995, the government created Dairy Management Inc., a nonprofit corporation that has defined its mission as increasing dairy consumption by “offering the products consumers want, where and when they want them.”

Read through these documents beginning in the 1990's to see how cheese and pizza would rise to become a staple food with the governments help.

2010 - They (Dairy Management) now understand their mission to be subsidizing Domino’s marketing efforts to the tune of $12 million dollars. The idea is for Domino’s to make a cheesier pizza and for Dairy Management to help them sell it.

I don't mean to pick on Eric, but with the GOP primary, the Bain/Mitt attention, the recent "Pizza is a Vegetable Insanity", and Eric's reluctance to pass an END to Congressional Insider Trading, I feel he brought this on himself. (click on colored print to see source)

1. Domino's Pizza was purchased by MITT ROMNEY'S Bain capital in 1998 for $1 Billion.

2. Domino’s Pizza went public in 2004.

3. 2005 - Domino's Pizza Names DIANA CANTOR TO THE BOARD of Directors.

4. Eric Cantor buys what looks like 5,000 shares of Domino's stock in 2005.

5. Eric Cantor tried to block the Insider Trading bill bouncing around the halls of Congress.

How on earth can Congress members double, or more (Mitch McConnell is now worth 10 times what he was worth in 2004), their net worth in a recession?

What do they know that average investors don't know? TONS!

How do they get away from the SEC Insider Trading laws? CONGRESS FUNDS THE SEC!

LET'S PUT CONGRESS INSIDER TRADING INTO PERSPECTIVE: Click this link for the entire Congressional Insider Trading history.

A Georgia State University study reveals that US Senators' average annual stock performance from 1993 - 1998 beat the market average by approximately 12.3%. Corporate insiders on average outperform the market by 7.4% and stock portfolios of the average US household underperform the market by 1.5%.

Oddly, if you use my source for investments held by members of Congress at the Open Secrets site to search for Domino's Pizza it doesn't show up. However, if you examine Eric's records, Domino's Pizza does show up.

Eric has done quite well in general, and in particular has done very well with his Domino's Pizza stock.

In 2004, the stock sold for $13.83/share. It dipped to $3.03 in November of 2008, and is now worth $33.87 a share today.

Do you think the 2011 ruling that "Pizza is a vegetable" helped? Oh yes, it helped.

Why Is Eric Cantor Blocking the Congressional Insider Trading Act?
