Congress
If the American people return one incumbent to the Congress this fall, they deserve what they get.
It is time that these representatives and senators go home and earn an honest living. They were not anointed. They do not own their offices.
Let them go home and pay for their own doctor and prescription charges. Let them live like the rest of us without the special privileges they have granted themselves and their friends.
We need a brand new Congress and President with limited terms so that they will know that representing the people is an honor and not their God-given right.
