The American public is tired of the lies coming from Congress and cynical about their ability to lead the nation and whether they truly represent the people. Occasionally, a congressman will come along and inspire the nation with an idea or a proposal that resonates and suggests that our representatives actually do care about our well being.
Iowa Republican Representative Rod Blum introduced legislation Friday that seems to be that type of proposal, though there are many who will feel it is just for show and will never come to an actual vote. Nevertheless, it is worth considering and following, because it could set a standard for future debate in coming years.
See Rep. Rod Blum’s proposed legislation on page 2:

This is the only way our budget will be balanced but the Senate and House will come out winners. what i’d like to see is any congress man or woman have to pay for their own medical insurance and have to pay taxes like the rest of us do
Too long chronie-ism in our government!!!!!!

I have never understood why blacks continue to vote for Democrats when they keep them poor, uneducated and use them for their own means – but some are starting to wake up, and I pray that more do for their sake. obama has been talking about reparati9on for blacks – this reparation he’s taking about should be paid for by the Democrats.
NOW THIS IS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
And those who are collecting ten of thousands in congress retirement benefits.
I do not care how the do it, just balance the budget !!!
