If you're scared of short-selling, maybe you shouldn’t be in the financial game—or Congress at all. This bill just means less freedom for investors with insider knowledge.

At least this bill puts a clear line in the sand: no shady bets by those making our laws. A small step, but better than nothing.

Prohibiting congressional short-selling is common sense—because when lawmakers bet against America, we all lose trust.

Congress banned from short sales? Great, now they’ll have to just lose money the old-fashioned way: bad policy choices.

Congress short-selling stocks? That’s like the fox guarding the henhouse. Glad to see a bill that says no more shady side bets on our future.

Not about banning investing, just banning betting against the economy you’re supposed to protect—seems fair to me.

If you're shorting America, maybe you shouldn't be in Congress. This bill puts a much-needed leash on insider greed.

Sure, now Congress can’t hedge their bets—because transparency means assuming risk like the rest of us. Let’s see them put their money where their mouth is.

Finally, a bill that tells Congress 'stop betting against us'—because our reps shouldn't profit while we lose. Time to clean up Wall Street’s newest casino in D.C.!
