Keep in mind the elected officials in Congress have to pay for their homes/apartments in the Washington, DC, and to maintain their homes in their districts! That’s two homes they have to keep up!
Suggest they authorize a construction of the apartment complex for the House and Senate Members. Each the same size regardless of position. They could live in it without cost. That would save a little money for the taxpayer as we then don’t have to pay a salary to support two homes. The rest still applies—no perks!
This also makes it easier for the citizens when we put in and enforce Term Limits. This would force a more frequent turnovers to allow citizen legislators!
Security problem—too easy a target for Cessnas.
I'd spring for a dormitory.
“Suggest they authorize a construction of the apartment complex for the House and Senate Members”
Sounds good! Only thing I would be worried about though is terrorism. With all of our leaders and their families living and sharing the same complex, it would be a prime target.
Better yet -- let the congress critters work from home, over the Internet.
They don’t even need to go to DC and be a terrorist bullseye...today they could meet electronically...from their districts...
