When is our Congress going to start some investigation on all of these?? NEVAHHHH

I have to agree with you Red. If it has to go thru congress, it's dead in the water for right now anyway. It doesn't matter what it is. If it comes from our President, they'll fight it every step of the way.....that to me is obstruction.

Yes, congress would have to vote on that. I suspect they would vote themselves another unjustified raise first, though.

Yes.
The congress members say all that money, all those benefits, etc., for a part-time job is necessary to "attract highest-level applicants, the "best qualified".
Well, I am far from impressed what with democrats who immediately disregard their oaths of office, have disregard for the Constitution, and show disdain for the general public. Oh, and let us not forget those republicans who believe acting just like democrats is 'Job One'.
We have been betrayed and the mechanisms- designed by congress- for the continuance of the same is appalling.

I think that we should drop their salary to about $50,000 and make them pay for their own healthcare that way maybe they will appreciate their jobs more. They only work part time as it is anyway.

Good idea! How do you plan to implement that plan?

The very best thing that could happen is a Constitutional Convention and have the States force term limits on the crooks in D.C.

That would have to be through the constitutional convention because they would never agree to anything remotely like that. We can add that in with the term limit package.

It would require an act of congress to get it on a ballot for a change to the constitution or we could do it by a constitutional convention both of which are but a slim hope right now.
Some states have it in their state constitutions a process by which to recall their federal representative. Perhaps limitations should begin at state level by acclamation of the people.

So do we write our congressmen/woman and state senators to do this? Get up a petition from our individual states? We really have to start fighting back. Enough is enough!

Actually it's already started. This is from an article from:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/01/_liberals_and_conservatives_are_teaming_up_to_call_a_new_constitutional.htmlCONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
t’s only a short phrase buried in the U.S. Constitution, but it enables an unprecedented mechanism to change the law of the land: If two-thirds of the states demand it, Congress “shall call a convention” for proposing constitutional amendments.
A hopeless pipe dream? Actually, no. Some 27 states have called for a convention on a balanced budget amendment, which would force the federal government to pass budgets that do not enlarge the national debt. This means that theoretically just seven more states have to act for a constitutional convention to be called, at least on that subject. In just the first few weeks of this year’s state legislative sessions, at least 10 states have bills pending that call for a convention. So suddenly such a meeting, not held since the earliest days of this country, is becoming a real possibility. Even GOP presidential candidates are seizing on the burgeoning movement, with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich endorsing this unconventional process and rallying their supporters as legislative sessions start up again.
While the legislation appears to be a grassroots effort bubbling up from the states, in reality it’s quite the opposite. National groups have been holding workshops, publishing tips, and even crafting model legislation for years to persuade legislators to use their states to circumvent the logjam in Congress.
The push is led by the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Virginia-headquartered conservative think tank known as ALEC made up of state lawmakers and corporations that advocate free-market policies in the states. It has a cadre of other like-minded national allies working on the controversial strategy to revise the country’s supreme laws.

Great video!! We can tell the Left that conservatives know exactly who's behind it, that they've been caught red-handed, and they STILL refuse to admit it!!
