    - Anybody who supports transparency shouldn't have anything to hide. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:43 3

        They're politicians. Of course they will use it in bad faith. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:48 1

- So? -- nm - Spawn Dec 19, 12:47
- I'm not sure what good that would do to make a difference at the national level. -- nm - Max Dec 19, 12:46 24
  - It would possibly make them think twice about their re-election prospects before enriching themselves -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 19, 12:48 23

        I'm not opposed to it, I'm just trying to deflate all optimism behind its proposal. -- nm - Max Dec 19, 12:58 10
        
        *shrug* who knows. Transparency is good so let's do it and see what happens -- nm - ty97 Dec 19, 13:02 8
        
        If the president won't do it, why would any other R? -- nm - Spawn Dec 19, 13:08 7

        My post still stands. -- nm - Spawn Dec 19, 13:31
        
        “Not that this would ever actually happen, mind you.” - znufrii Dec 19, 12:59
      - Campaign contributions are different than blatant personal greed. -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 12:54 5
        
        Not if the voters don't care. They're staring unethical behavior right in the face now and still voting for it. -- nm - Max Dec 19, 12:55 4
        
        I’m hoping there would be a significant enough portion of voters who do actually care. -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 12:58 3
        
        You’re a lot more optimistic than I am - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:01 1
        
        I’m not expecting that it would make national news, necessarily. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 19, 13:07
        
        They can care all they want, but the ones who don't care outnumber us and elect officials who will block the proposal. Get upset about that! -- nm - Max Dec 19, 12:59
    - Because a lot of people read the financial disclosures? -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 12:50 1
      - Reporters might, if they thought there was something worthwhile to uncover. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 19, 12:52
    - I think the old rules are out the door right now. -- nm - Spawn Dec 19, 12:48 1
      - So you’re saying we need new ones? -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 12:49
Nothing like probably a dead rodent in between apartments smell. -- nm - Qale Dec 19, 12:45 5
