For many years, I have advocated that Congrwess needs to meet about once every two years and the rest of the time, STAY HOME!!! If the president needs them for something, he or she can call them into special session, just like the state legislatures. The fact is that the more these people are together, in session, the more mischief they get into and the more they waste our tax dollars creating nothing out of something in the belief that it justifies their jobs.
I propose that Congress should be in session in Washington, D.C., for only about a month when they are in session. With today’s telecommunications technologies, they can stay home and work from their districts where it is easier for their constituents to have access to them and they have to live in the mess they make.
As long as they are able to live in Washington in their exclusive communities with all kinds of security, protected and isolated from the people who employ and pay them, they can and do whatever they want. It’s way past time to end the taxpayer funded frat party called Congress. Let’s bring them all back so they can be “home schooled” and find out about life in the REAL world - NOT the bizarro world of Washington.
Perhaps we should go back to the days just after the Revolution when it took days to travel to Washington, New York, or Philadelphia, depending on where they were meeting. If Congresscritters had to go to their session via horseback, covered wagon, or carriage, instead of private super jet (like Pelosi), they might have time to look around at the country and ponder what they are doing to us. They could even talk to people along the way. All their staffs should be cut in half, for starters. No limos. No servents for their houses. No groundskeepers. Let them live like normal people for a change.
