    Don't really care. I honestly wish everyone in congress and the white house would just disappear and we were able to reboot and start over. Any politician that runs on racism, sexism or gender automatically gets taken off any ballots. No one in the government gets paid at all until a balanced budget is implemented that cannot be overridden unless we declare war (hot war, not a proxy war in Ukraine).

    Everyone gets term limits 2 for the senate (12 years is plenty), lets say 6 for congress (12 years is plenty), 8 for pres, time as vp counts towards that. Everyone has to pass annual basic ethics tests, have the IRS crawl up their ass the entire time they are in office and everyone over 50 have to pass mental competency tests in public, and no one can serve beyond 70.

    I would even drop House to 4 terms (8 is plenty).. but I wouldn't count VP as being President in the term limits.. it's a different job.

    Also: I don't trust our government using the IRS to selectively "crawl up their ass" in a consistent manner... or have a panel conduct mental competency tests or an annual basic ethic test. These would be too easy to target political enemies. I also wouldn't want a set age where you couldn't serve.. Ronald Reagan was a very unifying President and he was 70 when he was first elected.

    I believe there is merit in certain members of the House demanding that we revert from omnibus spending bills & instead return to 12 separate appropriation bills with ample time given to read & debate each.

    I would add in no more earmarks on bills. Single page is too far but clean them up. Also, if country is operating at a deficit then nobody in congress is eligible for re-election.

    The system they put in place isn't working for the American people and needs to be gutted.

    Instead of coming up with new and innovated ways to get more money from us, maybe they should be forced to live within a budget.

    I get deficit spending is necessary sometimes.. in case of emergency.. but that debt should be cleaned up and paid for the following month/year and not just let accumulate to where the servicing of the debt is now one of the biggest line items in the entire government.

    Earmarks allocate funding to specific projects in lieu of leaving it up to the federal agencies to decide the priority list. I get the practice has been distorted into lawmaker bribing to earn their support, but there is still a legislative purpose. Otherwise, the biggest Metropolitan areas would get all of the funding as defined by the Executive branch and only influenced by legislator requests.

    sounds like the Dems are willing to back Gaetz play to remove mccarthy from SOTH. Things are about to get interesting in DC and I for one cant wait for Speaker Trump.
