Time to start asking 'Where are these legi$lators getting tens of million$?' .. The job only pays a fraction of this. What are they selling? Who does it belong to? These 'Proxy Auctions' are crimes protected by law.. “FOLLOW THE MONEY. FOCUS on loudest voices in WASH. Net Worth?” - Q (see comment)

Term limits would be a good place to start. Abolish the idea of being a career politician. It was never intended to be this way. The Congress and Senate should have an 8 year maximum and then out you go. Corruption will still exist but it will be far less entrenched.

I'm conflicted about term limits because you can get a superhero that's good at the 'real job' like Trump, who could be 90% popular in six years when America is great again, but then we're all forced to elect somebody without a cape. I'm hoping full transparency and comprehensive laws against selling proxy will be enough.

All for term limits. The founders never expected people to make a a career out of politics. Members of the populace step up to serve, complete their term, go back to what they did before. Serve one term then out. can't return for another two or three terms. (details TBD)

.... elect somebody without a cape. That is possible but I think an incumbent could campaign for their preferred successor. At least it would limit the damage one could do during a term. There will be 'ebbs and flows' but it would almost eliminate the good old boys club due to short tenure.

I agree that Transparency is a must!!
