Politicians are more corrupt now than in the past. Technology and transparency provides a means to minimize it.

Every Congressman, Senator and President and their senior staff, as part of a requirement to serve America honestly, should be required to provide an annual detailed and web based public disclosure of all of their current income and net worth, and where their assets are held. Any multiple or single transaction in a month involving more than $5K needs to be reported immediately and made available along with an annual report on line. And no lobbying, direct or indirect, for 5 years.

Failure to comply to this should result in expulsion from office and 5 years in prison. And we need to reward and encourage whistle blowing by insiders.

They should be audited and monitored every single year by independent panels. In fact all their calls outside of nation security issues should be recorded. No more closed door meetings for anyone outside national security type issues. Those who spend over 10 years in Government should be forced out. Period.

The reckless government mismanagement, spending and corruption is staggering at all levels.

If not stopped, they will lay this country to waste.

Those even suspect of the slightest improprieties, conflicts of interest, etc at all levels, and certainly in places like CA, NY, Chicago and D.C. should go before on-going independent Nuremberg style hearing and trials.
