When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

President Donald Trump is only a temporary remedy. DC is a cancer that must be removed or this country will die. The Romans couldn't do it. Can America?

Political corruption will always try to grow like a weed. Of course a people who feel weak, afraid, and dependent on government are ripe grounds for such weeds to flourish. It is a strong independent confident virtuous people that chokes such weeds out.

No cleaning up of the corruption will long endure without a change in culture.
