Reply to comment by laffingriver in Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks by turbulance4

Is it better to have some restrictions (with possible loopholes), or no restrictions?

if the restriction has loopholes written into the law by the peopleset to benefit from the loophole is it really a restriction?

if the law is in place but has no teeth, is it worth the paper its written on?

congressional corruption is bigger than their abilities to trade stocks. so the solution needs to be bigger than that.

and again this bill is performative bs, everyone sees it, he is clearly trolling, its going nowhere so why even take it seriously?

Allowing the congress person to personally do the inside trading vs forcing the to recruit their family does add some friction to the corruption.
