THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS AND SENATE!!!

You know, that's a proposal I think both liberals and conservatives could
get behind. Add something about accepting money/gifts/services from
lobbyists, add something about public financing of *short* campaigns,
include a provision limiting bills to one subject, and we're almost there.

What's left are the career bureaucrats who will gain influence with
novice politicians - don't know how to fix that one. A similar problem
would exist with staff - they'd just transfer from one politician to his
successor.
