There is no reason members of Congress should hold and trade individual stock when we write major policy and have access to sensitive information. There are many ways members can invest w/o creating actual or appeared conflict of interest,like thrift savings plans or index funds — PolitiTweet.org

Ppl rag on Congress’ salary &it’s easy to score political points on it, but many don’t know it requires paying 2 rents, can’t deduct work costs, etc Result is grand gestures to tout that they/staff aren’t getting COLA adjustments, but then trading stock to make up for it -worse! — PolitiTweet.org
