If you decreased the average wages in DC, then cost of living there wouldn't be sky high. Or just cut the wages of Politicians.

What makes you think anything would be different if the capital city was relocated? It would still be the same Federal Government.

I suggest Texas so the legislators would not have to travel very far to collect their bribes from the energy companies.

Maybe that is not a good property for a capital
