As I understand things, typically when elected officials take office, they put all their investments in a trust, supposedly so they won't be involved in day-to-day dealings with their own stocks/bonds/etc...what I've never understood is how they're supposed to forget what companies they were vested in when they put it in the trust, & are we supposed to believe that they won't act in their own self-interest during their term of office...
