The country is anyway screwed beyond repair, as corporates have fully taken control.
With election costs beyond the reach of common man, senators and congressmen are forced to take money from large corporates.
Its a never ending cycle, and it does not matter which party is in power.
It takes a courageous president steps up and forces congress to rewrite campaign funding law and limits bans any campaign funds of any kind. Next step would be taking $5 from each tax return filed and distribute that money equally to prospective candidates who want to run.
This will make honest senators to be elected.
But then, when corruption has reached beyond normal levels, then such an change is beyond the thinking.
