Will we ever have a Congress who's most important job is representing the people and not being re-elected?

Only if we the people Push to Implement my plan below:

All of our Socioeconomical Problems are Caused by 536 Elite, Privileged, Professional, Permanent, Political RULING Class Members in Washington DC, that have TOO Much Control and Power, in which Corruption is the Currency that is RUNNING and RUINING our Country…

Contact YOUR Representatives, Federal, State and LOCAL, as well as any type of Media Outlet and DEMAND these 5 SIMPLE STEPS:

1) Require States to Pay the Salary, Retirement, Travel and Living Expenses, and Staffing Needs of their own US Senators and Representatives in the House. (They could not set their own pay and benefits that way and be Beholden to those that Elected them, not Washington, DC Special Interests)

2) Legislators can NEVER vote to "Exempt" themselves from any Law they Pass. For Example, healthcare and Insider Trading (both of which they exempted members of Congress from having to comply)

3) Same Term Limits as the President. If you sit out a Term and Run again and your Constituency wants you back you can do 2 more Terms, then sit again. It will Stop Politicians from Making it a Career Choice, rather than Public Service.

4) Turn over Control and Funding of the Dept. of Ed, EPA, Dept of Commerce, Health and Social Services, Land Management, Parks, etc, Back to the States to Operate as they deem appropriate for their Respective States. IF Congress did not have CONTROL of Purse Strings, they would not be such a BIG, Corrupt Target for Lobbyists and Contributors.

5) Lastly, Citizens and Corporations can ONLY donate to the Campaign of Individuals that Represent the District in which you LIVE and/or Work. Why should Liberal Unions in New York be Giving Millions of Dollars to a Democratic Senator for Alaska? ONLY one Reason and it's NOT Honorable.

These simple fixes would change our whole way of "Operating." It would inspire Leadership Rather than Control. It would save $100's of Billions of $$$ in pet projects and Destroyed Wealth during elections. And eliminate the "necessity" to bribe Congress with Lobbyists to get anything done. Gridlock would not be an issue, because they would not be thinking about their own personal future, rather, doing what is required to help the most Americans.

Obama Refused to work with the Republicans. Remember when He said: "Republicans can go along with us for the ride, but they have to set at the back of the bus.' It's hard to work with an America-Hating Communist, like Obama. He Hates America.

When pigs fly, we will...

Congress doesn't represent the people. They con the people into voting for them, even though they only represent the interests of the rich. Why else would vote anybody in Congress against raising taxes on millionaires and refuse to make health care affordable for everybody?

LOL!

Nope. Never. Nie. Jamais. When hell freezes over. Sometime after the sun collapses into a lump of coal the size of a fist.

So, to make the best of it, we need to reinstate the Constitutional limits to their power, and thus limit the damage they can do whoring themselves out to donors.

if you keep on electing tools who's sole goal is to make it fail and stop. block and prevent anything from even moving now...like the 25 newly elected tools in the house..people who said out loud they do not care

then no....

gov is who you elect and must say the republicon truly did a great job electing those tools this time

wow

then wonder why nil gets done

No.

Not until the long line of lobbyists into their offices is stopped.

It is and always has been about the money.

Probably not, as long as we have "career politicians".

All we need is term limits. It's that simple.

Not in our lifetime.
