Congress is defintiely a problem and yes, we should get back to some basic things that they really are there for instead of pushing political agedas.

We as a nation spend way too much on too much Unneeded and unwanted stuff. STUFF get funded that nobody even knows what it is and yet itis in almost every bill ..

Yes sir, we need to get back to basics let the States do their own jobs and deal with the people that live in them.

Yes sir.....

Re: “they [the elected government officials] are neither our servants, agents, attorneys, nor representatives …”No, I think they are representatives. Not of *ME*, but of voters as a whole.

The issue, I think, is that most of them have tours of duty that run much too long. Perhaps if Representatives were elected for two months, and Senators for one year, it would be better.

Once upon a time, Congress met for just a short period each year. Most Congressmen had to get back to their farms, after all. In that short period, and with their minuscule budget, there was limited damage that they could do.

Today, Congress acts nearly full time, implementing grand plans with staggering budgets with lightning speed. I really don't think anyone in Congress has the time or interest to understand the Big Picture of everything Congress does, so lots of costly, painful, huge mistakes (and intentionals) result.

It's a problem.
