We had 8 years of Republicans curbing back regulatory oversight, increasing regulatory capture. The sitting President won on "draining the swamp" and proceeded to hire lobbyists to his staff because "they know how the system works" and yet there's been only further deregulation and destruction of government entities. If Americans want it to stop they will stop voting for people who literally base their party platform on destroying government oversight. There was literally an article yesterday about how when the IRS went after the wealthy for tax evasion, their budget was cut by Congress. The solution to this is a political one. Vote in people who believe differently if you want different outcomes. Otherwise quit complaining, you've got the government the people voted for.
