What is the psychological profile of a human being who wants “to serve” for such a long time?
My guess is it is as evil as it comes. THEY actually believe that they are irreplaceable. In reality, we need to get back to a Senate that is little more than handmaidens of the States. Make it so the Congress critters, cannot profit in any way from serving too. Build them dormitories, pay them the national average wage plus enough to compensate them for the expense of leaving home behind. Let them have staff, but limit them in terms of service time. Restrict them and their families from investing in products or stocks. Basically term limit them so people will want to get back to the real world.
It is time for a citizen Congress. People that would be INCENSED that their true power has been given to unseen bureaucrats, and TAKE BACK the power to return it to the PEOPLE.
Agreed, I never thought I would say this, but I some of these soccer moms can do better, much better.
