The national debt has increased over the past several decades and currently stands at $36.2 trillion. In 1987, when Nancy Pelosi was first elected, it was $2.3 trillion. She currently has a network of over $267.6 million, despite having a salary of $174,000. So, while America became poorer than anyone could have ever imagined, the opposite is true for Pelosi. This may or may not be why Josh Hawley has reintroduced the “PELOSI Act” to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

According to Fox News:
Hawley introduced the “PELOSI Act” in 2023, but failed to make progress under President Joe Biden’s administration. The proposal has since gained popularity among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and President Donald Trump himself said last week that he would “absolutely” sign such a ban if it came to his desk.
