This is why there should be a law that bans simple ideas from being considered by members of Congress.

And I don't want anyone to get the impression that I am anti-federal government. I am not. Two of my siblings are federal employees and I am a former federalite. I am outraged, though, at how Congress has become an enclave of rich, privileged, mostly white, mostly male self-promoters. I would love to see one selfless act come out of the institution. Just one. And I'm constantly frustrated over the knowledge that the public has the power to do something about it, but chooses not to.
