What financial games are Republicans playing?

This was discussed some in Factual Questions:

Is it possible to live in the US without a bank account?

The idea of required disclosure is to show the public who our elected officials take money from. So disclosure of a non-interest-bearing account is optional. The thread taught me that such accounts aren’t quite as rare, in the United States, as I had thought.

Most likely, they do have interest bearing accounts, and stocks and bonds, and are violating disclosure rules. If the House ethics committee wants, they can investigate. I don’t think it is a criminal matter, but would be glad to be corrected.
