This is gonna change Jan 21, 2025 No more trading stocks for members of congress or their immediate families until they leave office. They took the $130K/year job, they'd better get used to that amount of pay.
I don't think it's unreasonable for them to be allowed to divest on news like everyone else. The issue isn't the stock trading. It's the law not being enforced for Insider Trading. If the laws were enforced, there is no problem.
Honestly for people who's job literally affects 300 million people when they pass laws and regs, I think they number should be closer to $300-500k annually. Or already done mind of significant party raise because keeping public servants pay low leaves then suseptible to foreign corruption and influence rn.
But, by keeping a tighter hold of the rope around their necks is a good motivator to NOT become a traitor. If you want to hold public office in America, then one of the consequences is that if you become a traitor you will feel the snap of the rope squeeze your neck once the bottom drops out from under you. Remember, these are HUMBLE servants, not rich wanna be oligarcs.
