This behavior gets even worse with term limits, as we are seeing in California. Many state assemblymen and senators on the left are spending their terms shoveling taxpayer money to interest groups and especially “non-profits” through a wide range of irrational and useless laws and programs. Then they wind up retiring from state “service” and getting $500K/year no-show or board jobs with these outfits as a reward.

Corporations have been incentivizing our Congress critters for far too long. Can we get the lobbyists out of DC? I don’t know how we fix this unless we say it’s illegal, but since our laws are made by the people benefiting from the corruption, those laws will never change.
