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.

The Texas Legislature meets every other year. It has worked for a long time. There is no reason the Boys in DC should be there full time. It is a snakes pit that needs reclaiming.
