Do you actually think banning stock trades stops corruption, or does it just make politicians feel like they did something while ordinary Americans lose another basic freedom? That's the whole issue here. A blanket ban treats every public servant like a criminal, when the real problem is insider access and undisclosed conflicts. The fix is transparency, recusal rules, and blind trusts, not nuking every official's right to invest their own money. We don't ban cars because some people drive drunk. Enforce the laws you already have.
