Anathema- Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I think like with a lot of things I'm more in the camp of better-incentivize rather than ban/restrict. If there was better congressional pay, better funding for staff, and fewer fundraising requirements then I don't think the churn would be there. Quote

Thats some extremely wishful thinking, as long as theirs money to be made people will do it, they don't do it out of necessity, but greed lol. Quote

There's also no way Congress is ever going to be a better paycheck than what the Amazon, Facebook, or ExxonMobils of the world could come up with. Quote

TwinIon Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 This should apply to FCC commissioners and other such positions as well. I hope this actually happens. Quote

Snaynay1 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 They need to throw in a ban on retired LtCol's and above from the military from going to any company that does business with the government or they lose their pension. Quote
Greatoneshere Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 With Ted Cruz attached, I think we should all be braced for disappointment. Quote

Cruz is the right guy to push this sort of thing. He is a highly accomplished lawyer himself and his wife is some mid level executive at a top investment bank. They don’t need the easy lobbyist money, and it’s an easy way to punish all his colleagues who hate him by taking away their future gravy train Quote
