Ban Congress From Trading Stocks
BAN CONGRESS FROM TRADING STOCKS
On Episode 72 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett takes aim at one of Washington’s most controversial practices: members of Congress trading stocks while making policy decisions.
Burchett lays out his straightforward solution alongside Representative Anna Paulina Luna a clean, no-nonsense bill requiring lawmakers to sell their stocks and banning them from buying new ones while in office.
He calls out the hypocrisy and excuses from politicians who claim they need to trade to make ends meet, arguing that if they’re seeing massive returns, they shouldn’t be serving in Congress at all.
The conversation with Lara also raises serious concerns about new proposals that still allow lawmakers to keep large portfolios, questioning whether true accountability is even possible under the current system.
