I guess its time to call the term limits card then. These guys are not supposed to be career politicians. That is not how the system was designed.

The ridiculous abuses that take place, the money games, buyouts and payoffs and slimy deals have to stop. I think I need a vacation.

I agree. The whole system is incestuous and corrupt. I think we need elections paid for with public funds that only last about 4 months, with weekly debates where everyone running gets to participate. Ads on TV are free, because the airwaves belong to the people, and everyone gets equal airtime. No more slanderous ads paid for by third parties, no more campaign contributions. Too much time is spent raising money for the next election, and average citizens don't get equal access to the people who are supposed to be representing them. I heard the other day that a new congressperson was told they had to start raising $90,000 a month in order to have enough money for their next election. That is ridiculously out of control.

That is not what Joe Scarborough said. He said Billion, not Trillion. As I said, I have no idea where he got the information or whether it was accurate. I was simply repeating what he said.

I know - he was WRONG - The correct answer was TRILLION
