Here's a novel idea: Let's cap congress/senate salaries at 40K per year; limit their pension amounts and force them to find and pay for their own medical insurance coverage instead of sponging off the taxpayer.
Who'd run for office then? Only those truly motivated by the needs of their voting districts.

I appreciate the sentiment, but all that would do is make things even worse; the only people who would run would be the very wealthy who wouldn't need a salary to begin with.
ReplyDeleteOMG! You're right! :( I get carried away sometimes because I'm SO peeved at Congress right now. I'd like to recall the lot! ;)
