Should Congress Be Allowed to Trade Stocks?
The debate is heating up — and for good reason.
Members of the U.S. Congress have access to insider information the public doesn’t. While regular investors make decisions based on news and reports, lawmakers often know what’s coming before it hits the headlines.
That’s why there's growing support for a Congressional stock trading ban.
Why it matters:
Over the years, some politicians have been caught buying or selling stocks shortly before major policy changes or national events — raising serious ethical concerns.
Supporters of the ban argue:
It prevents conflicts of interest.
It builds public trust.
Lawmakers should serve the people, not their portfolios.
Opponents claim:
It limits personal financial freedom.
Existing disclosure rules are enough.
But with public pressure rising and bipartisan support growing, we could be looking at a major shift in how Congress handles personal finances.
What do you think? Should Congress be banned from trading stocks while in office?
