Joe, if I were not a year away from turning 90, I’d be selling out and heading for Portugal. If for no other reason than to spite Trump and the current congress. Since our representatives (those with at least a modicum of brain cells) are unable to bring themselves to vote against this insanity, my contention about term limits becomes stronger. (Fear of losing their seat(s) is the only rational I can think of for their voting in favor of this.) My suggestion: anyone running for congress gets 20 years. They can stay in the House for 20, stay in the Senate for 20 or combine terms in both houses for 20, but 20 is it. That’s time enough to learn how things work and to accomplish something meaningful. After that, they’re done. Me thinks It’s not a perfect solution but a step toward cleaning up the mess we’re in now.
Me thinks you are giving scrapple that wonderfully delicious delicacy a bad name
