They can also vote from their districts. They don't need to live in DC anymore with the current technology. Reduce their salary and cut benefits. We'll see who really wants to work for the people.

This is a good idea but it needs well thought out. I always felt de-centralizing the federal government would remove the concentration of lobbyists and money that corrupt politicians. It would also pose more of a problem for any enemy targeting us. My gut tells me that 50% of the federal workforce currently set in DC could be eliminated. The unions have always pushed for more workers, more money, more benefits. It became a monster that has grown out of hand. Cutting regulations, means we need less people, not more. The fewer this number, the smaller the deep state becomes. When you consider each state has a capital, each county has a seat of government, each city, township, borough has their own governmental offices. How much regulation and oversight do WE THE PEOPLE need? Far, far less than what we have. It's burdensome, wasteful and not what the founders had envisioned.

Consider too, that when our Senators and Congressmen leave their home turf and move to DC something happens. They lose touch with the people they serve. Temptation is placed before them at every turn to vote certain ways often contrary to the needs of the people they are supposed to serve. Politics should be mostly local and lobbyists should be outlawed. DC tends to insulate politicians from constituents while exposing them to forces outside their states. Maybe the current system worked better in 1776 when there were only a handful of states along the eastern seaboard with slow travel but it's not what we need today.

just call lobbying what it really is, bribery, and it is already illegal

They should be dispersed nationwide in small pieces and chunks to small towns and remote areas.

I have a buddy who's a retired colonel U.S.M.C., has been saying for years they needed to move all the brass out of Quantico and down to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC.

He said it would get most of the politics out of the Marine corps.

Well, NOTHING in D.C. is beholden to The People like was meant by the original U.S. Constitution. It was made an independent city-state, so Mulvaney's decision is the correct one. NONE of our Fed offices should be located in that shithole swamp.

I think it is necessary to move the entire Fed Govt out of the Satsnic DC and build a New Capitol in another state. Maybe the Midwest. The whole city of DC is laid out in a Pentagram. The buildings and Statues are all Roman. The Statues are all Pagan Gods (Demons). There are tunnels under everything with God knows what going on in them. Nothing good can be built upon that land except parks and museums. DC is the arisen Roman Empire.

Well, any new DC would need to be re-built away from major fault lines such as New Madrid.

Some place, some where, there is a whole government complex located underground curtesy of Continuity in Government program. My location bet, the Denver International Airport, lots of Satanic symbolism there.
