Good question. If you and I can't take advantage of insider information on companies, why should politicians? Actually, I think there are several things that need to be changed concerning what politicians can and cannot do. I was frankly astonished to read that Walz has virtually no financial holdings in stocks or bonds. He is probably one of the few, if not the only, politician in that situation. It would be very difficult to assert that he has any conflict of interest. I also think that once a politician retires or is not re-elected, they should not be permitted to be lobbyists. Don't even get me started on campaign finance reform!
