“We need a new bunch of reps that can’t be corrupted...”
No, we need to regularly vote them out so they can’t be corrupted. Over time, any of them will be ‘acclimatized’ to DC & the only way to stop it is to return them to civilian life after a short stint in power.
I guess truth be known we keep getting back to term limits....

IMHO, the answer is very tight term limits. It is my understanding that limits are on the agenda for a Convention of the States held under Article V of the Constitution.
Term limits should be either 12 or 16 years. I prefer 12 years. If Washington (and I’m speaking in general, not just the Congress) is going to be corrupt then our elected officials need minimum exposure. Corruption will end if they are not there long enough to be corrupted.
