Yep. “We still have a Congress to Muck Out!”

It is TIME to Drain the Swamp! It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Eliminate entire departments. (Education, EPA, etc.)

Move the worthwhile functions back to the States.

It is TIME to change the center-of-gravity of government. Force the Congress & Senate to telecommute most of the year, and live in their home district under the thumb of those they serve. Away from the Lobbyists.

I agree. Being a member of Congress should be a part-time position, without benefits. Something that one does because one has a felt obligation to serve, but one is too old to sign up for the military (or has already served in the military), not something one does in order to obtain sinecure from which to abuse the trust of the people for one's private gain.
