Every Time I turn on the news... I can't believe how STUPID this country has become. Here is a Plausible solution that might fix it.

Oh, and don't forget which politicians did not do what you voted them in office to do. VOTE THEM OUT!!!! 2014 Elections are coming.

Congressional Reform Act of 2013

1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) shall now participate in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund shall be moved to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of either the CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws which they impose on the American people. NO EXEMPTIONS!

7. 12 year Term Limits. Serving in Congress is an honor not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

Don't you think it's time?
