Interesting that Perdue is "thinking outside the box." Part of the problem is that our Congresspeople are not being held responsible for their inability to come up with ways to bolster the economy. It's about money.

So a more Constitutional way to make the critters accountable more quickly is to tie their pay to the performance of the economy. The more the economy tanks, the lower their paycheck becomes. Ditto the White House policy makers.

If they can't fix the problem, they should share the pain. Isn't that what Obama was saying?

Many of them don’t care about the “paycheck”. Pelosi is married to a billionaire. She loves those perks, free military flights, free booze, served by military officers....
