### I don't. Why bother? The problem is not a few leftoids infesting DC.
There is a structural problem that won't be solved by investigations.

The fifth estate does not act under a feedback loop. While your grocery is
on the tightest leash possible (daily easy exit by individual informed
customers), your senator is under a much weaker and distorted feedback loop
(occasional votes), the deep government is essentially under nobody's
control. You can't threaten them physically (strongest feedback known),
refuse them your cooperation/money (second strongest loop), you can't run
away, all you can is to use your 1/100 000 000 voice to influencing
somebody else (the 0.01% of the government that you can contribute to
electing) and hope that 0.01% you have under a weak feedback loop would
control the remaining 99.99%.

It's a pipe dream.

The only solution is term limits for every single government employee, from
the janitors up. Ten years and you are out. No exceptions, not for rank and
file penpushers, not for middle management, not for scientists, not for
generals, not for anyone. That's the only long-term way to prevent the
accumulation of hypocritical, status-obsessed scum in the corridors of
power. They say "Power corrupts"? Well, let's protect innocent people from
corruption by making sure they don't have power long enough to soil their
precious little souls.

And while we are at it, let's take away their civil rights while employed
there - no right to vote during and for 10 years after leaving government
employment (same for anybody receiving welfare, of course).

And let's have an IQ test as a civil service entrance exam.

Of course, this won't happen. Some problems, seemingly under human control,
actually don't have solutions.
