Jail time and bans from operating.
This is the only thing that will fix broken America.
Jail time for those involved. and Lifetime bans from operating in the respective spaces. The person doing the bribing should be banned from a mgmt position, the the law maker should be banned from any political office at all levels, the lobby firm should be banned from operating in the US.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoAgreed. Fines are simply a cost of doing business in cases such as these. Commit a "blue collar" crime, you or I go to jail. But do a white collar crime and it's a slap on the wrists. Time - separated from family, etc. - has value. Money, for the amounts these people play with might as well be Monopoly money.

- pessimizer 4y ago> Jail time and bans from operating. You can't get that for an indictment unless you're indicting a poor person. In the US we ostensibly punish people when they're convicted. What we need to do is to punish the appearance of impropriety when it comes to politics, and be very specific about what appears to be impropriety. As it is, we can only stop dumb or lazy corruption, the kind that people talk about over the phone and write in emails.
