That intrusion is already there but it was only against the people. So if the people can be intruded I don't see the problem with politicians being intruded.

I live in a State were road construction seems to be a never ending story. Every other road is under construction, yet our roads are no better than before, because it seems to take 20 years to start and complete a road that is over 5 miles long, then it is time to fix it again.
I don't welcome this intrusion for anyone - - not even Trump.
Several states voted to do just that. Sanity.

There are two ways to reduce debt: decrease spending or increase income. Do not ignore the latter; we need both after seeing the debt skyrocket for the past eight years.

I am in favor of all this lobbying and money being public record, no exceptions. The outrage would make this election look tame.
I did not suggest that. I asked you a question.....

OK, let's leave some corruption, the worst.
edit:
Why know who is really running the country.
We have been looking at our economy as a zero-sum game for far too long. It is not, and has never been. Our economy supported the citizens in a relatively comfortable lifestyle for 200 years... it can still do that if not restricted from operating.
We can pull ourselves out of this mess before the water goes into a full boil. We may come out scarred, but we will still be alive and strong enough to rebuild our country.
We the people... we need to heal. This has been the most hateful, dirty, despicable campaign I have ever witnessed in my half-century plus of breathing oxygen.
Many, many hateful things were said on both sides.
The vulgar insults and hateful rhetoric and name-calling -- yes. truth.
These things need to be forgotten, forgiven so that we can act as brothers and sisters again.
Oh, we may disagree, but we can again learn to disagree without being disagreeable.
Nothing major will happen until January 20th. Obama is still in power until then.
Regardless of Wikileaks or anything else, there is not enough time to justify an impeachment.
Clinton has conceded.
There is no reason to go after her personally again (unless she tries to regain power later).
Her sins are history, and she still has the investigations on the Clinton Foundation to worry about. It is enough.
The match is over. But both sides still need stitches and splints and ointment and deep breathing....

right. So -- do we beef up Secret Service? Focus on the Kremlin hacking charges?
We keep Trump alive and safe, or let the ruffians at him? We don't want a repeat of JFK. That would be too idiotic for reality.
The Russian hack thing was as much a joke as Hillary was ahead in the media polls. They don't assassinate politicians with guns anymore.
Think bout it, Obama was going to close Gitmo and end the war in Afghanistan...
New psyop: Let the people think they 'won' and place whomever they want in the Oval office... then just ignore him and carry on as usual.
After all, the ring side announcer doesn't write the script for the circus.
