Fixing Congress.I hope ya'll agree.
Warren Buffet,"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,"he told CNBC."you just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP,all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!Why?Simple! The people demanded it.That was in 1971..before computers,e-mail,cell phones,ect.Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution.seven (7) took 1 year or less to become law of the land..all because of public pressure.
1.No Tenure/No Pension.A Congressman collects a salary while in office and recives no pay when out of office.
2.Congress past,present & future participates in Social Security.All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.All future funds flow into the Social Security system,& Congress particates with the AMERICAN people.It may not be used for any other purpose.
3.Congress can purchase thier own retirement plan,just as all AMERICANS do.
4.Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.Congresstional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5.Congress loses thier crrent heath care system and particpates in the same heath care as the AMERICAN people.
6.Congress must eqully abide by all laws they impose on the AMERICAN people.
7.All contacts with past & present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.The AMERICAN people did not make this contract with Congressmen made all the contracts for themselfs.Serving in Congress is an Honor,not a career.The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators,so ours should serve thier term's,then go home and back to work.
Thank you for your friendship request,
