What if Congress lived up to its commitments? What if our political representatives actually contained themselves and voted to require themselves to live under the same rules as the rest of us. What if there was no federal retirement for politically elected and appointed people. What if congress became a "part-time" job. What if the President were confined to a staff of 20. What if congressional representative were confined to a staff of 3. What if the Pentagon was actually required to be responsible for the money it spends. What if the Department of State could not keep secrets from the public. What if our representatives were required to retire at 60 years old like airline pilots. What if congress had to live by the same rules it requires of truck drivers.
Unfortunately, Congress will never agree to all this. That is why it will take a violence free revolution. We just need to vote all current office holders out of office and start anew. Then on to term limits. 3 terms in the House, 2 terms in the Senate. Put the professional politician out of work.
