    My comment was meaning to say that the only people who can put laws in place to stop politicians from being able to participate in trading stocks are politicians.

    Clearly the laws in place do not stop them currently.

      I follow, but that’s not correct. The laws are already preventing them from insider trading. The SEC is not holding them accountable. More laws won’t change the lack of enforcement. Pressing the SEC to do their job is the solution.
