Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with economic progressivism's emphasis on comprehensive measures to prevent corruption and conflicts of interest.

Agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While Economic Progressivism would generally support measures to prevent insider trading, this answer does not go far enough in preventing potential conflicts of interest.

Agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While economic progressivism advocates for regulations to prevent conflicts of interest, allowing stock trading with strict protections against insider trading is seen as a compromise.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

Public reporting of trades in real time might increase transparency but does not eliminate the potential for insider trading or decisions made in personal financial interest. Economic progressivism would likely view this measure as insufficient compared to more stringent controls.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

While this answer does promote transparency, a key principle of Economic Progressivism, it does not fully address the potential for conflicts of interest.

Economic Progressivism generally emphasizes the need for regulations to prevent conflicts of interest and corruption.
