This is the scariest thing about this spectacle! The Senators themselves did not know what was in this bill! And yet they intended to foist it on the American people and cause it to become U.S. law!

Not only is this irresponsible, it tells me that those people don't take their jobs seriously. It's like a game to them. Especially the ones who have been there many, many terms. I'm fed up with that attitude.

“It’s like a game to them. Especially the ones who have been there many, many terms. I’m fed up with that attitude.”

Maybe they need reform, too, reckon? How about...

Plan 1: Term limit Senate members to one 6yr term, House members to two 3yr terms...and require all of them to physically be in their districts at least 50% of the time.
(That’s right...phone it in, fax it in, tele-conference, IM, whatever. “All politics is local”, right? Welcome home, Boss Hogs.)
or
Plan 2: Require House members to apply for salary/staff funding every four months. Defund the Senate, caulk up the chamber & fill it with fish.
