Objective is to get more passionate Americans with high skills to want to work in public sector to keep America the greatest place in the world.
Currently ppl do the job for what feels like the tell all book or lobbying gig that will pay $$$. At the end of the day thess jobs in DC were not meant to be eternal jobs held by the same crusty bones.
- To attract the best talent we will need to pay them. The best among us make 10x what these ppl make. So we need to pay them more $ to start.
- Limit house to 2 terms and senate to 1. And you can hold both jobs making your Max in congress 10 years.
- By paying them more $ you can eliminate lobbying. No one who holds a government job should be able to lobby for 5 years. No consulting no lobbying no government access at all. You come and represent the ppl and then go home.
- By paying more $ you can also eliminate insider stock trading which happens daily and no one ever gets in trouble. Outlaw it by having them have to liquidate their portfolio and cannot buy individual stocks during their tenure. Public office is not a place to get rich. You are here to serve the ppl.
- Pay scale:
- president 5m (current 2 term limit)
- VP 2.5m
- Senate 1m (1 6yr term)
- House 700k (2 terms x 2 yrs)
- Scotus 1m/ yr (TBD on term limit but there should be one 15yr place holder.
