Yes, it is TIME to DownSize DC!
Eliminate entire departments (Education, EPA, etc)
Eliminate all functions not expressly designated to the Federal Government by the Constitution. All other powers rightfully belong to the State and the People. NOT to our elected elitist overlords.
Force the Congress & Senate to telecommute most of the year. Live in their home districts under the thumb of the electorate and away from the lobbyists.
The legislature in Texas meets on a 2 year schedule, unless a special session is called by the Governor. It has worked well for us a long time.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Telecommuting is an interesting option...and one that would disallow for the many times our "representatives" fail to even show up to votes.
