#CongressTradingBan
:
Can you imagine a congress member buying shares in a company just one day before a government decision is announced that increases its stock value?
This is the root of the problem… And here comes the role of the "Congress Stock Trading Ban" or what is known as CongressTradingBan.
What's the story?
Members of Congress, by virtue of their positions, have the authority to access insider information before anyone else—economic decisions, new laws, or even impending crises.
Imagine if they used this information for personal investment? The matter transitions from representing the people... to abusing power.
What is required?
Many people (from the general public to some politicians) are demanding a complete ban on Congress members and their families from trading stocks.
Either they sell all their shares, or they put them in an investment fund that they cannot control.
