You know it's funny. All those high priced lawyers, lobbyists, Gov't officials, brass and glass hotels, etc. and the highways and roads of DC are s**t. 295 around DC is the worst road I've ever been on in my life and the DC drivers make it all the more hazardous. Especially the ones with "diplomatic" tags.

I say we put the congresspeople on their own state's dole. And no more voting for their own pay raises (by the way they have to vote against it or its automatic).

I agree with the telecommuting. If they don't have two homes (which they get dispensation for) they'd have to resort to hotel rooms to carry on their affairs and they'd be easier to catch. It would probably solve some of the smog probelms in DC. All that hot air being dispensed over the 50 states would probably clear up the inversion over the Potomac valley.
