    It can be, if you choose not to take your jobs seriously, like half of Congress does.

    Although, there are still some in Congress, such as John Duncan, who take their job very seriously and I doubt they have an easy time doing it.

    They don't seem to do much , get paid a lot , make lots of connections for a fortune in side money , get 6 weeks or more paid vacation and better medical coverage and pension than those of us in Medicare and SS.

    Yes , I'd say it's a lot easier than what most of us do .

    When done properly, not at all.

    When handled carelessly like 90% of them do, yeah it's a walk in the park.

    big lobbyist money

    exempt from insider trading laws

    a lucrative retirement/health care package

    passing laws without even reading them

    and 0 accountability to constituents

    yep, sounds pretty easy to me.

    Too easy, or it has been for too long. Now they are being watched and hopefully working a bit harder.

    The hardest part is keeping your soul. In that context, it's pretty difficult apparently.

    Did you know our government was founded on a weak federal government??????/

    If we were to have a stable government, we need more political parties.
