I agree with you completely.
This bill is a first step and there is no time for standing on our laurels.
I may be cynical but I think DOGE and DOJ are going to be able to put pressure on Congress critters because of the graft and pay for play that has been going on. In many ways I’d rather see targeted laws to prevent lobbying donations and NGO payoffs in future combined with leverage to get to a balanced budget,retire the debt rather than prison for the culpable.
Prison would be nice but changing America’s trajectory is more important.

A huge cultural shift/awakening would be required to change the path we’re on. In the absence of some sort of serious national crisis I don’t see that happening. The system is becoming increasingly dysfunctional and is incredibly hard to change. JMHO
