Certainly hope it passes! Though with a high enough security clearance I'd imagine you could make a killing just going long/short on index funds, so I don't know how effective this would be at curbing the behavior.

What we really need is all assets of elected officials held in blind trust, bar none, no exceptions, I think. Though I'm no hedge fund wizard and I'm sure there's a loophole to exploit there as well.
