"Elected to Congress in 1990, John quickly became a voice for reform. First, he adopted a "no earmarks" policy that he carries with him to this day. And as part of the "Gang of Seven," he and fellow lawmakers took on the House establishment – Democrats and Republicans. Together, they successfully closed the scandal-riddled House Bank, uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and cozy cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.

In 1994, John was instrumental in crafting the landmark Contract with America. One of the Contract's cornerstones - the Congressional Accountability Act, which required lawmakers to live under the same rules and regulations as the rest of the nation – bears the unmistakable print of his drive to change the way Congress works."

Boner is LOST!

Nothing SCREAMS “deficit reduction” like spending cuts in 2023!!

I get WHY they did this.

It’s proof that they are NOT worried about our financial situation.

Well, at least... they are MORE worried about their own re-election.

Are the House members having to live under obamacare like all of us... or are they exempt??? I know the answer and it makes this statement a lie.
