This demonstrates how far we have come from *citizen representation*.
It is long past time for TERM LIMITS. If members of Congress had not voted to steal all the pensions and benefits from the taxpayers...they would not run for life-time, permanent *elective* office.
There are no penalties for mismanaging the Federal Budget - no lay-offs, reduced pay or other sacrifices within the Congress or bureaucracies. They are out of reach and out of touch.
Criminals!
I am set to get a Senile Security check in a year. If I do I will frame it and hang it on the wall. It is only about 1k what a joke.
