Well to be honest the corruption begins at home, in other words starts at the Citizen level and moves up as these corrupt Politian’s get a foothold in office as strangely enough when most of these people get elected they come to Washington DC broke and leave millionaires and even some Billionaires on a job that pays at best 300k. This was predicted in the Bible and even the John Birch Society predicted this mess we are in back in the early 60’s...
Its not just the corruption.
Its also the corrosion of our national ethos.
Neither problem is fixable at this point. It will take a national calamity to have any hope of ever turning things around. Until such time/event, the down hill slide will continue.
