When their term was over, they went back to their real lives. There was no crazy lifetime pension, unlimited healthcare, etc. They served because they wanted to do it for their country, not for the eternal paychecks.<br /><br />Maybe it's time to limit terms and have salary caps going forward on all congresspeople. As well as having to be reelected for 75% f their allowed terms before they can receive a pension. <br /><br />Bottom line, there are lots of amazing people that want to do the job, but can't afford to run against the incumbent.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124114522341883601.post-68741456297666509542012-11-04T12:08:49.916-08:002012-11-04T12:08:49.916-08:00I agree with Vixen, it is our civic duty to vote. ...I agree with Vixen, it is our civic duty to vote. And I agree, the President doesn't hold much power. And actually, this is good, Separation of Powers and all. What annoys me is the partisan rancor and the inability to compromise. Furthermore, the skewing of statistics and disrespect for the truth.

It only seems to encourage more animosity, deepen the divide and eliminate the possibility of compromise. But, its easy to criticize; I wish I knew what would make a difference. They say back in the "good ol' days" government wasn't so partisan. Why is that, or is it not true?Middle Damnedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425301253300525444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124114522341883601.post-46849047220544620012012-11-04T05:27:33.872-08:002012-11-04T05:27:33.872-08:00Well said indeed.

The thing that really gets me is that we will elect one of these guys in and that there are actually people out there that think that that ONE candidate will change the country.<br /><br />The President picks advisers...
