This is my personal opinion here but I have to ask what the need for full time law makers? If anything I see this as a part time job at best (yeah I know they work very little as it is). The longer they're in DC the more screwed up the country gets. Why does it take a couple years of campaigning to nominate an idiot (either party it doesn't matter)? Seems to me whoever runs should be given 6 months max and we should eliminate all polls. Good people can't get elected because they can't afford to. Why can't "we the people" end the madness and make congress work for us instead of us working for them.. i.e. we work to pay them.
Our Founding Fathers certainly saw it as a part-time job.
But establishing the “rules” by which a Nanny-State operates is CERTAINLY a full-time job, so we should probably cut them some slack. I mean, after all, there are SO MANY aspects of the peons’ lives which need regulation.
In short, we should all just shut up and be governed.

“... of the people, by the people, for the people ...” seems to be long forgotten by our elected officials. They seem to be thinking that we are to answer to them instead of them working for us.
