Another aspect of that is that the congress is on the federal payroll.

Take them off the federal payroll and put them on their own states’ payroll. They have truly forgotten for whom they work and this would help remind them.

The Founders started out with the cheapest payroll they could figure out ~ and by the time Daniel Webster was in Congress he and his fellow members made most of their money taking bribes for votes on legislation.

I assure you that once your typical Congresscritter was no longer subject to the sort of scrutiny being on the federal payroll brings he or she would be back working for the Mob ~ just like before.

Plus they would be subject to recall by the state. :)
