MODERATORS
That was something I thought of years ago, and I was always curious how it would REALLY turn out.
My idea was to fill Congress like jury duty. We just randomly select people for a three year term. (With 1/3 of Congress rotating out each year) It would pay enough that most people would make much more than they normally would, it should be like winning the lottery, and not like getting drafted.
In theory, everybody should vote to improve their old life since they know they have to go back to it, but now I'm thinking about "We'll have a cushy executive consulting position for you after your term if you vote against this bill..." So, there might be some more loopholes to tie up.
