Why not some compromise where for every $10 of aid one gets they do 1 hr of community service starting with picking up trash at schools, painting over graffiti, cleaning bird dropping off sidewalks, etc.... all the services we can't seem to afford these days What a simple answer; why can't Congress and State legislatures concentrate on the important things instead of that which is politically expedient for 20 minutes?? We need term limits for EVERYONE. If you are a great rep., then after your term is up there are plenty of other ways you can serve the country. The loss of a few great people will be far outweighed by the loss of the rotten apples and blood suckers, and will maybe encourage some brave new ideas to become reality. Of course this would never pass; once elected, the perks are too great to want to give them up, and tempting to agree to whatever the highest bidder asks for. Is this really what the founding father's anticipated? Billions spent on elections?
