I would also add that given the high level of “mandatory” spending that we have in Washington that we do need a full time congress in Washington, to defund those high levels of mandatory spending.
Go to a bi-annual budget and then a couple months every two years is plenty of time to develope and approve a working budget. You don’t need day to day meddling by congress critters if they have compentent heads install in the various departments/agencies.
I like that idea. Two-year Congress comes in and passes ONE two-year budget for their term and moves on to other issues.

It will take a full time conservative congress to defund all of the wasteful and unconstitutional "mandatory" spending that we have now. It will take a full time conservative congress to deregulate all of the unconstitutional "mandatory" regulations that we have now.
Our full time congress now doesn't even read, page-by-page, most of the legislation that it votes on. Our congress people need to take the time to do that.
When those items are accomplished, only then would a good conservative and constitutional congress best take action to cut its working hours and to cut its pay.
