Also...Why do we need to have so many members of the House of Representatives? Is it mandated in the constitution somewhere? Why not just have 2 per state like senators?

It is in the constitution. The senators represent the states and the representatives represent the people and are based on the population of the state. It is a great system. The problem is they are all representing foreign corporations and none of them are representing the states or the people.

Ok. I heard Chuck Norris talk about this on a radio show. He was saying how it is nearly impossible to hold any one person accountable for anything the house does because of the large number of representatives now employed. I cant remember everything he said but he was making a lot of sense.

Atf would certainly be up there too. Pensions for most congress critter should be eliminated. Get a job for 2-4+ years and get a lifetime salary?? Lose your job, get another one. I'm talking about legislators, not real workers. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

I have said for years we need a Priority system to the budget.
Here in Ca when ever the state over spends the first thing we loose is fire, police, nurses, Teachers, and they threaten to release Prisoners to cut down on the number of guards or they need to raise taxes.
We need laws that the things that government is set up to provide are the priority items and the first things on the chopping block are the senate staff, cars, perks and finally their pay.  Then any social engineering programs and on up the list till we have to get rid of Police, Firemen, release prisoners, or what ever the first thing they always bring up.  But with a senate staff member making what a police and a teacher make.... I need a teacher and a Cop much more than I need a senate staffer.
With the president the un confirmed Czars the party budget, and the vacations need to be cut be fore another tax dollar is collected.

  We need to cut the budgets of the FDA and USDA. They wast a million dollars per Amish farmer they spy on for selling milk. Now the fake food safety bill S510 adds 14,000 more of these terrorist.

HEH,,,,geeezz Pman....where did you get all this class envy warfare against wealthier and better off folks from...??... ;D 8) ;D

 
 
tm. Class envy??They have nothing I want. They have only money and power, I have God in my life, most of them do not. I have morals and family values, many, if not most, of them do not. If you are saying that I am not in their class, thanks, I'd rather have what I have than have to answer to God for all the things that they do. I'm not poor, I just don't have any money. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

Dem or Repub they draw full retirement for less than ten years of service, regardless of attendance record. That "I am royalty" ideals seem to be apparant. Don't vote for an incumbent and you can stop that.

Because taxes of those who earned the money are supporting these bozo's & considering their performance, they aren't earning a fraction of their pay.
