Not working. There's no downside for them. No punishment. No deterent. Just speaking engagements and cushy corporate appointments to reward them for their unAmerican actions while in office. They need to fear the consequences of working against the interests of the voters. Jail time and the purging of assets would be a fine start. Like 10-20 for excessive porking while on the public payroll. Exclusion from the black art of lobbying after their terms are over. etc
