I'd be careful normalizing bribery. It's very micro-efficient, almost definitionally, but the macro effects of normalized bribery are well known and not good.

Bribery is the actual normal function of US politics. That’s what lobbying really amounts to.
The USA has the best government that money can buy.
Until you get fascism or welfare reforms, hopefully you aren't on the chopping block by then.
To be clear, I am not saying this is a good state affairs; merely that it is the normal operating procedure for the USA.
