    Yes, return profits to the Social Security Trust Fund.

    It is not only insider trading, but all their benefits. They shouldn't make any laws, whether it health care, social security, retiirement benefits etc. that the rest of the country doesn't have. In fact all government workers, whether federal, state, county, city as well as military should have to pay into social security, medicaire etc. and they whole country would be better off for it.

    Then every American in this country should register to vote, then petition to have the electoral college dissolved and a popular vote be the basis of who is elected, so our votes actually MEAN something.

    Send the check to me because I understand the word budget much better than DC. Sending money to them is sending it down the rabbit hole with nothing to show for it. They are already planning on how to spend the alleged savings from the reduced war effort. There is no savings in DC - ever.

    The insider deals among our political leaders amounts to nothing more than BRIBERY. Lobbying is bribery, insider information is BRIBERY... BRIBERY is the reason why America is in this predicament. Lobbying promotes elitism, Sure bribery is how American political campaigns have always been funded.. But it really it is BRIBERY NOTHING LESS.

    The voice of "We" the people has been replaced by, the corporate interest with the most cash to communicate their voice as "We" the people.

    90% of conservatives agree and 90% of liberals... and 100% of independents agree.
    But 0% of our elected leaders agree... Hmmm, I wonder why?

    I think that we should start suing politicians for malpractice.
    But, that's just a thought.

    nah, more money for lawyers, most polititions are lawyers.

    Maybe a razor wire fence around the building, guard towers on the corners, and use the Obama order shoot to kill. to the guards.

    hope the fence is built during a joint session prompter reading.

    Let's have them start to live up to their rhetoric and actually DO something to lower the debt.
