and I wish all House Reps were required to act like he does! But I fear that the sequester is exactly what the House repukes wanted and anything that brings us more rapidly to our knees, the better and they will hang on to it with a death grip all at our expense.

Those people need to be put on a new pay schedule that pays them by the hour at minimum wage and no perks, they only get what the average worker receives and all should have term limits or some barrier that keeps them from being "career" politicians.

...but then there are reps like Grayson whom I feel should be career representatives because he actually does what he was elected to do. I'm kind of torn about that part.
