Lawmaker Stock Ban Popular but Unworkable
February 26, 2026·about 1 hour ago·via The Washington Post

Banning stock trading for lawmakers polls high with fed-up Americans, but insiders admit it's a pipe dream riddled with loopholes and enforcement nightmares. This exposes D.C.'s self-serving elite who profit off insider info while preaching ethics to the rest of us. Common sense demands reform, yet big government complexity ensures the corrupt stay rich - no surprise there. True fix lies in term limits and draining the swamp, not futile bans that let them dodge via spouses or blind trusts.
