3 steps to fix Washington

There seems to be this belief that running our government is so hard. That is what our politicians want you to think. That keeps them employed. Our Founding Fathers did not want life long politicians. They wanted smart and good people to give their time for the good of the country then move on for someone else to step in. We have politicians who have never had a real job and know nothing about the real world, just big government. Here are 3 ways to fix this situation and put control of our government back in the hands of the people and not self serving politicians.
1. vote out every member of the House & Senate. Lets start with a fresh batch of people who know nothing about big government but have common sense to see the waste and abuse in Washington. I bet 10 people with common sense could cut our federal spending budget in half in about 4 hours.
2. Term limits. 2 terms and you are out. That way our representatives do not forget who they work for.
3. Eliminate pensions for our representatives. Why should they get far better pensions then any normal hard working American gets. Wouldn't you like a job where you could decide how much money you make, how much your pension will be and no matter how poorly you performed you could not get fired? This will remind them that they are there to volunteer their services for a short time and move on.

Got your health

They say if you have your health you have everything. Well, now the government wants to take that from you. Do you know under the current plan, if you don't have health insurance the government will fine you? That is basically a tax for the uninsured. Do you know that if you do have health insurance, but it is too good compared to what the government whats you to have, you will have to pay a tax on your health insurance? Is this really what we want?
