There is only one way to end the corruption: OUTLAW CAREER POLITICIANS. That means term limits and the only way to get term limits on Washington politicians is through an Article V. Convention of States.

Once a politicians gets elected, the prime directive becomes: GET THE MONEY TO GET RE-ELECTED. Once the money is acquired, the politician is bought and special interests supersede the common good. If a politician cannot get re-elected, that eliminates the most important source of corruption infecting our entire political system. CAREER POLITICIANS ARE KILLING US. Electing a Republican President will help, but it’s not enough. We need to reassert the Constitution. A balanced budget amendment and repeal to the 17th Amendment would help tremendously as well.

Sorry to say no. There is no solution. You do the above and they just form “tag teams”

No laws will solve the problem. The problem is the nature of man.

Can’t forget the ‘one the taxpayer teet, for life’ that goes along with that ‘election’.

Add in a ‘no taxpayer monies shall be provided upon termination’ provision (make it wide enough to drive a planet through, get some of the govt employees/unions/etc., but concise they can’t twist the English ala 2nd).
