The longer they remain in office it seems the more problems they create.
“That do not receive federal retirement benefits”
Just playing devil’s advocate, but that is one of the things that drew me to my current job, rather my 401(k). I would at least match them dollar for dollar up to 6% on a 401(k).
Comments regarding what? Sorry, but I can't quite tell what your idea is other than some of us go visit DC. What then? and in what capacity?
You may want to expand on your idea a bit if you're interested in comments.
A law needs to be passed that makes them turn over any money left after an election to the IRS.
That way when they ran the nest time any money they used would have to be collected anew, just like their opponent has to do.
These people build their huge war chests and a new opponent faces a candidate with free franking privileges, millions to fight them with and the opponent has to start from scratch.
Its bad enough that the incumbent has lobbyists buying his vote with campaign contributions without having millions in the bank to fight an opponent.
For starters, all salary and benefits such as insurance should be approved by the voters. Congress should be in session no more than four months out of the year. ALL legislation should have a termination date. If it is good legislation, it can be renewed.
Since all legislation is restrictive, gridlock is good. Encourage more of it.
Are you asking if Congress our US National Legislature should be “Part-time” or “Full-Time”..if so I answer enthousiastically that they should be “limited to no more than three months out of a fiscal year, baring national emergencies called by the President of the United States”..lets make this a Constitutional Amendment, it would also keep them in the district most of the year ‘near their constituents’!
