House Speaker Mike Johnson said that members of Congress should be able to continue owning stocks.
He suggested that a stock trading ban could discourage people from running for office.
Earlier this year, Johnson expressed support for a ban, citing the “appearance of impropriety.”



You can still own stocks, you just can’t TRADE on insider information, dipshit.
Keep in the indexes like every other schlub has to. That’ll give you a bit more incentive to not sell out your fucking country and ensure a HEALTHY market instead of tilting it every which way in favor of whichever lobbyist is currently licking your taint.
