I think we could reasonably make Congress a part-time job

4. If you think there's so little for them to do that they should be part-time

then why give them any office staff anywhere? You're saying there's so little to the job that it shouldn't attract a full-time salary, and they should have to have a second job to make ends meet.

You're also saying this other job should provide all their health insurance and retirement benefits. How many hours do you think they should spend away from that other job before their employer is justified in saying "you're only part time here, I can't give you full benefits". Do you expect them to ever visit Washington DC, or would they work entirely from their home state where their main job is?
