I have a solution. Congress can meet virtually via video conferencing. If they did their work from their district, perhaps they wouldn’t so quickly become such creatures of Washington.
Stop voting Democrat.
Baltimore's Red Line?
The solution is obvious. Put the Detroit city council in charge of the DC region.
These days the Federal Gov’t is huge jobs program for liberals and affirmative action hires all kinds meaning, women, blacks, gays Hispanic etc. This is how Federal hiring is trending in the DC area. Why will any programs be cut if this means a loss of jobs for liberals and Obama voters? Defense in the largest exception.
Obama wants to slash defense and kill off NASA. This is where the white guys work who tend to be right of center. So reduce their jobs while increasing Federal employment at the Department of education which is heavily female, gay and minority. Those jobs are “reparations” jobs. Take from the “whiter” productive private sector via higher taxes and transfer the wealth to all kinds of Federal employees who are unneeded, doing useless work or over-regulating.
Not mention taking from the private sector (taxes) and give to the Obama voters via welfare, Section8, 0bama-Care and more
I know a good solution to all that gridlock! The trucking industry just needs to stop sending any trucks into the region just like I did when I owned my own trucking business.
If there is no room to expand the shoulders, why don’t they stack one highway on top of another as they do in parts of the NYC metro area?
Other solutions would include smarter bus or train service, such as a dedicated bus run only for a large employer such as a major government agency, combined with employees-only personal consumer options built into any large employer. Such a building should have a grocery, a deli, a dry cleaner, a gym, medical office, dentist, hairdresser, kiosks from larger entities like Home Depot where a consultant can help people order what they need and have it delivered, and all the other things people try to do on the way home that presently necessitate a private car.
