Micro said "Congress should be a part time job as it was for many years. 6 months max per year.. NO PAY and no pensions for anyone.. It was volunteer and only people who actually had right intentions for the country ran for election because they were not going to get righ by going there...
Sounds quaint but I think sometimes we need to consider the OLD PATHS that were successsful,"
It doesn't sound quaint to me, at all! There is absolutely NO good reason the legislature couldn't be part time...AND UNPAID. IMO, there ought to be some special honor if you serve - AND DEPART - honorably and quickly.
Zim, I totally agree about all non-Constitutional "Departments" and other functions being disbanded. We haven't a chance of getting any of our rights back, and certainly not our Republic, until that happens....
Unfortunately, I don't expect many "civil servants" to understand. And what do we do with all the "voters" who are effectively welfare charges? They aren't likely to go along with the downsizing of the Departments which arrange their perquisites!
