This bill, HRES 491 NO STOCK, is a real doozy. It's supposed to prevent members of Congress from owning individual stocks, but it's just a band-aid on a broken system. This resolution doesn't address the root of the problem - the corrupt influence of money in politics. It's like putting a band-aid on a broken arm - it might cover up the issue temporarily, but it's not going to fix the underlying problem. And let's be real, this resolution is just a way for politicians to save face and pretend like they're doing something about corruption. But until we address the real issues at hand, this resolution is just a distraction.
