When they reach the limit Big O makes a video to blow smoke.

Congress should be a calling not a job. A person should feel honored to have such a calling. They should be limited to two terms and their income should be the same as average median US household. It sure shouldn't be a career!! There should be ZERO retirement for members of congress or the senate.

Reminds me of a congressman's statement back in the 80's (which his name escapes my memory) in reference to the salaries and benefits of Congress.

"We need these salaries, because if we didn't have them, Congress would only be made up only of millionaires and ner do wells".

Does anybody remember who said this?
