Why not move the U.S. capital?

Washington, DC was built atop a swamp, and it seems that although the water receded long ago, the swamp slime and vermin have remained. Why not move the capital to a new location in the U.S., leave the infected District of Columbia behind, and start over with a new location, new buildings, new institutions and new personnel? A clean, fresh start.
Expensive? Yes. But not nearly as expensive (financially, morally, culturally and politically) as maintaining the sinking ship full of rats and disease that is our nation's capitol.
If you're in favor, name a location and give reasons why.
I think this would be a large step toward DRAINING THE SWAMP.

Vegas. Think of the scandals.

You people think up the most wasteful ideas.

Agreed. I should be moved on a rotating basis.

Vegas real estate is too expensive.
Move it to Biloxi.
Move it to Biloxi.

Why not put it in the middle of our nation. Relocate the Capitol to the State of Kansas

I thought Republicans were supposed to care about the budget?

Move it to Omaha, Nebraska and see how many well-to-do Kennedys want to spend 40 years in government.

Conservatives: the party of fiscal responsibility.

I would prefer when and not if.

Move it to Duson, Louisiana. Hot bed of Trump support so we can truly MAGA.

Before the discussion moves any further, it's important to get the nomenclature correct:
capitAl (city) = municipality that is the seat of government
capitOl (building) = a building in which a legislative body meets
capitAl (city) = municipality that is the seat of government
capitOl (building) = a building in which a legislative body meets

We are. That's why I suggested Biloxi or Las Vegas.

1. I'm not a Republican.
2. I care about our moral, social, financial, cultural and political budget. Taking all things into account, moving the capitol seems like a possible solution to allowing it remain in a location full of infected bureaucratic zombies.

St.Louis. They moved the federal capital there after a massive pandemic in my favorite TV show The Last Ship. They argued that having the capital in a central location in the US would make it more accessible for the surviving citizens in the East AND West.

How about we get rid of a lot of Fed Departments and move that shite back to the states, like the Dept of Education. That would drain a large part of the swamp.

It's a fricking hypothetical.

Should move it to Los Angeles, then kick California out of the union.

I came to post something like this. Put is somewhere that's far away from everything. Make it to where no one wants to go there or anywhere near it. Yes, a town would develop around the government center, but it's far from NYC/Boston? etc.

So you just want to make another part of our country full of infected beaurocratic zombies?
