Congressional Stock Trading Debate Sparks Public Backlash | PakCan News

Mike Johnson’s reported defense of congressional stock trading exposes exactly why so many Americans feel Washington is completely out of touch. Members of Congress already earn around $174,000 a year, far more than the average worker, yet the argument seems to be that they still need access to stock trading opportunities to “feed their families.”

That is what makes the contrast so frustrating. When ordinary Americans ask for higher wages, affordable housing, healthcare, or even a basic $15 minimum wage, many politicians suddenly become experts on fiscal responsibility. They warn that workers are asking for too much, businesses cannot afford it, or the economy will suffer. But when it comes to lawmakers protecting their own financial privileges, the excuses come fast.

The issue is not just about money. It is about priorities, fairness, and trust. People who write the laws should not be allowed to profit from information the public does not have.

Every day, moments like this remind Americans that many politicians are not living in the same reality as the people they claim to represent.
