    I suggest all congress be due 280 hours of community service a year. They themselves must complete it around their congressional duties, 40 of which must be spent washing the feet of the homeless. Oh and cap their pay at 120k a year, no stock options. These people need to be humbled once more. You serve us, not corporations.

      Honestly, pay needs to be capped at their current states minimum wage imo.

      Being said I also believe that all public positions should be like how the president is. Where everything is paid for by the yearly budget. I also think that all public positions should be isolated from personal finances. You are public position representing the US, you have zero need of accessing anything in your financials. I personally believe all assets should be frozen as soon as you take your seat. (or at the least put into bonds or something)
