#CongressTradingBan Discussion on the ban on stock trading for members of Congress is gaining momentum. #CongressTradingBan represents an important step towards ensuring the integrity of our legislators. When politicians can trade stocks of companies that they directly influence through their decisions, it creates a clear conflict of interest. Many past cases have shown how members of Congress have exploited non-public information for personal gain.
Transparency and trust in government institutions are fundamental pillars of democracy. If we want to restore citizens' trust in the political system, we must implement stricter rules. A trading ban could be the first step. Some proposals include mandatory blind trusts or a complete ban on holding individual stocks during their term.
