All we hear from our Congress is its members wanting to cut entitlements. Recipients have all paid into entitlements. The Congress should work together to find ways to put people back to work. More jobs means more funding. We the people of this great country should demand term limits and an end to lobbying.

Members of Congress receive exorbitant pensions. You never hear of the government tapping their pensions when it is in need of additional funding, as happened with Social Security.

These elected officials are voted into office to work for the good and welfare of all citizens of the United States. They rely on us to fight and die for our country, while they play party politics and do nothing. When they leave office, they look for jobs as lobbyists, many for foreign companies. We must demand changes.
