Each Congress member pays $350 per month for a family health care plan, not $35. However there is a personal doctor for Congress that each member can use for primary care and simple health services such as flu shots.

LOL, his premise is interesting, but utterly pointless. Government, BY DEFINITION, is incompetent. That's why wise people long ago figured out that our central government should DO VERY VERY LITTLE and should have VERY LITTLE MONEY TO SPEND.

This dufus actually thinks that the problem is the wrong people elected to office. No, the problem is the government is doing too much, and is, like any other overgrown and politicized organization... incompetent.

Easy to criticize, hard to be part of the solution; try listening or (gasp!) reading what intelligent solution-driven individuals such as this man have to say and thinking about which piece of the puzzle you (anyone tuned in) are /(is) and how you can best navigate the labryinth & get to the place you belong. Single-bill legislation is a promising start. Reflect on the imbalance: the people who want to know things have the least power; those who care not obviously have way too much.

Only way to topple that imbalance is to become part of the mass on the other side of the scale. Some bitch, others DO, which are you?

You do not grasp the problem, just like this guy doesn't. The problem is that govenrment has a nature. It is political. Political bodies cannot plan our future, provide our welfare, or "manage" the economy or anything else with ANY competence. People must do that for themselves. Anyone who proposes anything besides returning government back to within it's proper boundaries has absolutely NO idea what they're proposing.

Government consumes far too much of what we have. It controls far too much. It has too much power, too much wealth, too much influence. Thus, it becomes the target for all who seek power and control, to use it to control society for selfish purposes. The ONLY way to fix this is to take government's wealth away - at least 70% of it's money and income and its ability to borrow should be GONE.

The federal government must get OUT of the education, health care, welfare, fairness, speech control, wealth control, etc, business. It must be returned to it's Constitutional boundaries, which are severe and very narrow. Then, and only then, is this nation certain to succeed and prosper. This poor dufus hasn't a clue. For all his efforts, he fails to grasp the fundamental truth - government is like fire- a best to be restrained.

A man opened a bank account and soon after that he got his cheque book. He started signing cheques and paying with them everywhere. Soon after that he has spent so much money than a bank officer called him and said: "Dear Sir, you have spent so much money now than you can go to jail. You must pay that money". Then the man said: "Oh my goodness, you scared me to death! No problem, I WILL SIGN YOU A CHEQUE"
