End the pork barrel projects and no attachments to any bill. Discuss one thing at a time and vote on it within one week, then move on to the next issue of business.
No leaving DC until every bill is addressed and the people vote on pay raises for their representatives, not doing it themselves as they have done for eons. Also, they use the same retirement plan that we do, not some specialized one set up by themselves.

Joe said this and inexplicably, the wise and venerable Moses agreed. I will continue reading after taking this opportunity to state my opposition to any and all provisions which seek to overcome or mollify the problems created by apathy and ignorance. These, and any other similar suggestions, will not form a reasonable substitute for people, citizens, voters...becoming informed and involved. Term limits, pork barrel, etc., would not be a problem if America was watching. The kids in DC are mostly unsupervised, and that is the problem. Mommy and Daddy are sleeping. Things will change when they wake up.
