There really needs to be something barring former Representatives and Senators from becoming lobbyists for at least five to ten years after leaving office.
Yeah. Like they'll vote that through. The sad thing is, being a member of Congress is basically your portal to the real promised land: the seven-figure contract to going back and lobbying your former colleagues.
On the plus side, even if they turn around and become lobbyists the day after the next Congress convenes, it's worth it just to be finally rid of some of these people.
No shocker there.
