Members of Congress should not be permitted to knowingly trade in the stock market.  It should all be handled through blind trusts.

Couldn't they just be required to register as insiders?

Let me borrow about a dozen of your patented thumbs up on that one.  And I'd take it step further, just to keep them honest that any and all equity investments are limited to ETF's or other indexed funds. 

Let's padlock that fox out of the hen house once and for all.

I got to admit I got a chuckle out that one.  Nicely done.
