Great idea. I always wondered why our state representatives have to live there. It’s 2019. Surely technology can carry out voting, etc. they can meet in each other’s states to call speakers or do it by Skype.
That way we can protest knowing they are inside if they vote against the citizens and lobbyists don’t have an easy group payoff.

Good point about using technology and Skype. A good use of this technology would be by the Hollywood liberals flying in their private jets to a climate change conference. Think of all the CO2 that wouldn’t pollute the skies. Then they fly back and tell us deplorable how we need to sacrifice to save the earth.

Well Congress must stay -- remember they can only vote in person. But move out all the agencies. No reason FDA is in DC. Or EPA, HHS, Interior Dept, Treasury, etc. Move them where the cost of living is low and it's difficult for lobbyists to get to them. Spread them out! Too much concentration in DC.

The inability to fire for cause or corruption is the biggest problem facing the taxpayer, these people are lifers on the fed payroll, the largest employer in the world!
