If Congress was forced to live like the public we would have government programs that actual helped.
-Congress must utilize the same healthcare options available to the general public. If you are over 65 you must use Medicare.
-No Dual citizenship. Your loyalties should be 100% to America.
-No lifetime retirement. Your salary will support your IRA, not the public.
-Your income will be audited.
-Hold congress to their oath of office. You violate and its treason.
-No more special benefits like slush funds for inappropriate behavior, no paid trips out of the country, utilize public transportation and no second homes in DC. Since you are representing your state there is no reason to live in DC.
-You’re only going to be in office for a maximum of 8 years so don’t get used to living the high life.
-Unable to come back as a lobbyist.
-Unable to vote yourself a raise in salary.
