Strongly agree

Yes

Consumerism ideology emphasizes the importance of free markets and individual economic freedom. Therefore, it would generally support the idea that members of Congress should be allowed to trade stocks while serving in office, as this is a form of individual economic activity. However, the score is not a full 5 because consumerism also recognizes the potential for conflicts of interest and the need for some regulation to ensure fair markets.

Agree

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

Neutral

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

Placing investments in a blind trust represents a compromise that allows Congress members to maintain personal investments while minimizing potential conflicts of interest. However, from a consumerist perspective, this approach might be seen as overly restrictive, potentially limiting Congress members' engagement with the economy without clear evidence that such measures significantly benefit consumers or the market.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the growth and consumption of goods and services, which could be seen as aligning with the freedom for individuals, including members of Congress, to engage in economic activities such as stock trading. However, it also recognizes the potential for conflicts of interest and the importance of consumer trust in markets, which unrestricted stock trading by Congress members could undermine.
