Your solution is . . .
I dunno, I'm just a citizen, a taxpayer, and a voter.
Perhaps term limits, either voluntary or mandatory.
I also like the idea of lifetime maximum terms in government at the federal level. Otherwise honest and moral men and women become everything that the citizens deplore once they become "Career Politicians"
I also believe that we, the voters, share some responsible too.
We make the blunder of believing that the parties we choose to "belong" to, actually have our best interests in mind when cutting deals with the lobbyists.
It might make sense to end the incestuous relationship between "our" representatives and the various bribe merchants who have their own agenda.
Just some thoughts..............
From a personal point of view, I can do small things to make a point:
stop giving money to politicians
stop giving money to political parties
actively communicate with my representative(s)
never again vote for an incumbent unless that individual has proved him/her self to be worthy, (even then, not more than once or twice)
most importantly, to always remember that the battle is not between republicans and democrats, it's between We The People and a corrupt and self-serving government.
Is that a solution? Possibly not for you or anyone else, but it works for me.
Happy Thanksgiving
