I have long held, since the early 1980's at least, that the entire apparatus of government in the US is irredeemably corrupt and has been since the late nineteenth century.
I believe that the only way to fix it is to take over and tear the whole thing down and rebuild it with accountability and auditability built in. No lobbying, term limits, paper-based, hand-counted elections with photo ID, two-factor authentication required for any money outlay, public, open contracting, everyone here a citizen, a resident alien or a current visa holder, no qualified immunity, the list is almost endless.
I am a native Jerseyman, I've seen corruption up close and in person.
