Every word, punctuation, change, etc, in every bill needs to be owned by at least one current representative and senator. No more slipping in benefits for whoever is paying you the most with no consequences other than your getting richer. Tickerguy said: Quote:The thing about fixing the Senate is that the States will enforce that. This may be the first time I have ever totally disagreed with you. There was plenty of graft from the beginning of the country (from the Whiskey Tax onward), not just after the Civil War and the progressive era. If we seek to really reduce the shenanigans in DC, then we need to force all activity into the light as much as possible. What I propose would help to do that. Furthermore, restricting congress in this way would help both the state legislatures and the people hold our senators and congressmen more accountable for their actions because we would have greater knowledge of what those actions are.
