“We need to begin by ensuring that the position of the professional politician disappears...”
Agreed. And to that end I propose that there are NO post office benefits for elected officials. NONE. No pension (they can have a 401 (k) maybe with some match maybe not) No health insurance (duh, cobra), for presidents maybe 1 or 2 years of secret service protection, no more than that, etc.
And I would want this at all levels of gov’t.
I think it would pretty well serve as a de facto term limiting feature.
I like the way you guys think.
The new government should be moved out of DC, to N Dakota or the UP of Michigan.
