Has it occured to anyone else that this problem could be solved forever if the pay of Confressmen and senators was linked to other federal employees, so their pay stopped too?😷

@JollyRoger I totally agree. And there is nothing wrong with extending yourself financially for all the right reasons, such as quality education or helping family. I have been there myself. But we both know the stereotypical Congressman and Senator dont meet that criteria on either side of the house.. And lets get real. Lf they were smart enough to make real money in any business they would not be pro$tituting themselves in Washington..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Yes.... but there are those who we cannot stereotype on either side of that stereotypical spectrum: I respect those who espouse their humanistic values; I despise those who duped people to vote for them and who foster evil propositions and goals, i.e., being there 'just for the money' is not everyone's goal.

@JollyRoger Also true. But it only takes a majority. No matter who you support or who you voted for, the same $hYte is going to rain down on all Americans...😷

Mean while, I just read in this morning's newspaper that good ol' Elon is having a twitter (okay X) fit and posting endless rants calling on Congress to let the government shut down and screw the citizens who aren't billionaires.
