That is why everything needs to be brought back to the state level: Open books on all expenses, Representative or two from the state voting on expenditures, defund most of the government offices, term limits, make it illegal to have lobbyists seeking out favors for pay offs-pay for play, no lobbying for 10 years after government office, no book deals for 5 years after government office, no promises of jobs in any defense or aeronautical jobs for 5 years after holding government office, no stock trading while in government office for the office holder or immediate family (unless put in a trust account without a name, only a secret number, and appointed by the government to oversee in a non-partisan manner), similar health care coverage to government office holders as that of Medicare and Medicaid recipients (no platinum plans), salaries determined by each individual state and raises voted on by taxpayers.
