The way I see it, anyone stating "fix the system" or "clean out the garbage" or "Drain the swamp" and they do not mean start over from scratch does not understand how ingrained the corruption is in the system.

It is possible to have fabric that is so dirty that it cannot be cleaned in any reasonable way. The best option then is to dispose of it and get new fabric.

As large a problem as we have now, I would say ban all elected officials and non-elected leadership appointments from all public servant positions for life without exception in a new system.

Yes this would be crazy difficult and chaotic but we allowed ourselves to get here.
