    I want that too. Just taking the money away from them isn't punishment enough. That's not how we treat bank robbers, and bank robbers only
    stole pennies compared to what's been funneled through USAID.

    That's because of how the laundering works. You put dollars in, but you only get clean pennies out. But the Elitists don't care about that because they didn't work for the dollars that they put in.

    I understand. Members of congress who are millionaires (or higher) need
    to be investigated. But the salary itself is way too much. They hardly even spend any time working.

    Even when they are "working", they aren't doing their job.

    They should work as volunteers, conduct
    their congressional businesses at night, and they should have daytime
    jobs in places where they can actually work for their money (if they
    need any.)

    When this country started, that wouldn't have been feasible. Today, however, that is certainly doable with the technology we have.

    Term limits. Campaign finance reform. Repeal Citizens United. That'll
    help clear things up, but we know what happens when people are left to
    police themselves (at the cost of the people they purport to represent)

    Let's ask Maxine Waters if that's doable. :)

    She can be replaced by a very simple BASIC program. I was thinking along the lines of the old ELIZA program, but simpler than that.

    Maxine Waters only has 2 functions: obstruct the government, and spend campaign money unlawfully.

    Eliza is a superior tool.
