I have a suggestion. Whey don’t we get congressmen to telecommute?
I suggested this almost 10 years ago, to some of my Okie friends.
It would remove our congressment from the Lobbyist in DC and make them more likely to support their constituents. Now that is a novel idea. Technology today can make that happen, there are encription methods to make their voting secure.
Think what that would do to the center of power in the U.S.
If they wanted to play in the cesspool called DC once a Quarter for a few days that would be OK.
Any takers??
Maybe in the future, but Congress is one of the least tech-savvy institutions in the country. As of a few years ago, they didn't even allow laptops on the floor of the Senate, for example. There are a lot of old guys in Congress who like to do business the old-fashioned way.
And, to be honest, politicians like being in DC- good restaurants, lots of fun events at the Kennedy Center, beautiful, sophisticated women to have as a "DC Wife." It's much more appealing than working out of your local office in some strip mall in Podunk, Idaho.
