#CongressTradingBan

The concept of a CongressTradingBan has gained significant traction in recent times, fueled by concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the integrity of the legislative process. Proponents argue that allowing members of Congress and their immediate families to trade individual stocks creates an environment ripe for insider trading, or at the very least, the appearance of it. Their access to non-public information regarding upcoming legislation, government contracts, and regulatory changes could provide an unfair advantage in the market. This erodes public trust in elected officials and undermines the fairness of the financial system.
