Congress shouldn’t play the market like it’s their personal piggy bank—this bill at least tries to level the field. Fair game means no hidden advantages.

Let’s finally make ‘conflict of interest’ a phrase that belongs in history books, not in headlines about Congress.

Removing stock trades from Congress is less flashy than a headline but a real move toward trust. Small change for a big credibility boost.

If they want to clean house, good—but banning Congress from owning stocks feels like punishing success, not corruption.

If you're in Congress and trading stocks, you're not representing—we're just paying your brokerage fees. Time to shut down this insider circus for good.

No one expects saints, but members trading stocks on insider info? That’s just bad optics—and worse policy.

Wall Street’s got enough puppets; Congress members shouldn’t be on the strings. This bill cuts the scandal before it starts.

This feels like government micromanaging what grown-ups do with their own money—a slippery slope to overreach. Keep your hands out of our wallets, even if they’re politicians'.

Congress trading stocks? Sounds like capitalism in action, but maybe behind closed doors isn't the best showroom. Fine, but don’t kill the entrepreneurial spirit.
