I love this story because it tells so much about the problem in one snapshot.

I can think of two ways to solve the problem. First, we can make a real effort to get corporate cash out of the system. Second, we can require representation by lobbyist the way an accused criminal is guaranteed representation in court regardless of ability to pay.

Obviously that was a joke but the point remains the same. Trying for sweeping change is useless until we freeze the revolving door and take a stand against influence peddling.
