James D'Angelo 抛出尖锐论点:1970 年美国《立法重组法案》将国会投票彻底公开化,反而为游说集团和特殊利益集团打开了寻租大门。他主张恢复议员秘密投票机制,以此作为遏制政治腐败和社会弊病的低成本杠杆。

英文原摘要(HackerTube / Claude 整理)
James D'Angelo argues that the 1970 Legislative Reorganization Act made congressional votes public, opening the door to lobbyists and special interests. He proposes restoring secret voting as a cheap fix for corruption and many social ills.
HN commenters recommend it as a long, evidence-backed theory for what changed in the 1970s and why Congress is broken, even when they are unsure they agree.
