  1. But they’ll never give it up. Congress voting on ending it reviewing that has just as much chance as term limits. They’d never do it, except a small few honest folks on either side.

    This is Congress we’re talking about.

    IMO Congress should no longer be able to control their salaries, pensions, or bonuses of any kind. Instead that should come to a vote of the people each election cycle.

    Example ballot questions:

    “Should RepSenator <Name Here>, receive an 8% raise in salary? Vote yes or no.”

    “Should term limits be imposed on the United States Federal Legislative Congress, with a proposed limit of no more than 3 terms in the House and 2 terms in the Senate? Vote yes or no.”
