Disagree only because this will encourage additional abuse of their position to make money. But I do agree in theory and believe that lobbying should be banned and that lawmakers and officials should be barred from owning stocks.

Sounds like creating a lower price tag to bribing politicians into lawmaking instead of creating laws that are actually sensible and would actually benefit the American people…. Not that they do right now but could make it a lot worse
