We need a law that says both elected and appointed members of government may not accept gifts of any kind, no plane flights, no accommodations, no money, no favors, no dinners, nothing,
Also full financial discloser and a strict code of ethics.
@Stonekettle I always thought there was such a law. As a low level NASA contractor at MITRE I was told I could not so much as allow a vendor to pick up a fast food lunch tab. NASA employees wouldn't accept a birthday card.
