Congress investment in stocks

Congress should only be allowed to have a 401k investment like most. They and their family should not be allowed to make private investments in stocks or any other businesses while serving. Example is Nancy pelosi here husband has made massive amounts of money on insider trading from his wife. AOC was broke until she was elected. She is worth 29 million in a few years

The Congress was designed to be a gathering of elected community voiced decision-makers… it went all wrong once it became a paid life-long carrier appointment, just as with the judges…
ALL needs to be brought back to the roots; otherwise, it will be again reversed or failed any other possible made-up way in yet 4 (8, IF we are lucky) short years

Would it help if all federal legislators’ stock trades immediately became public? Just because the office holder and spouse don’t get to trade would not stop spread of insider info.
