All of the Representative jobs used to be part time. ie People had real jobs that earned their living, and they also did their government work on top of that. And that was when travel took forever.
In other words, one of the primary reasons we are at this point today, is because far too many politicians realized they could simply bilk the State, while doing fuckall for careers spanning 30-40-50 YEARS.
If we take President Biden as an example, the man was elected to the US Senate in 1972! And there are many such examples.
And what’s been the outcome? A better democratic process? No. Higher quality of life for citizens? No. More competitive American goods in the Intl marketplace? No.
So what are we getting for our dollars? And why would we want these fossils (regardless of Party) to remain? They’re clearly not serving American interests.
