Sorry my autism slipped

I used to have the same attitude about career politicians but in all honesty, I changed my mind and here's why. Bureaucracy in America was designed to be slow. Ask any relatively educated congressman or woman and they'll tell you that probably the biggest reason the government and it's decision making process was designed to be slow was because the founding fathers didn't want anything bad to happen quickly. The double edged sword is that nothing good can happen quickly either. There was an interesting video that I found where the daughter of Nancy Pelosi (I know, total bitch yada yada) interviewed outgoing members of the House in 2018, and that was what changed my opinion on career politicians. One republican flat out said he planned to be in for no longer than like 12 years... he stayed for 20. Because he couldn't accomplish his goals in Congress fast enough. He even said that a lot of them usually end up doing that for that reason

Another fucking big problem that they talk about in the video is leadership. They will whip their people to follow party line, even if they disagree with the decision... well... because it's party line

Let me see if I can find the video. Please take the time to watch it, it is without doubt the best video on Congress

i feel like it shouldn't be as rewarding

Because it's all members of Congress taking the attitude of fuck it, I'm leaving I don't have to hold my toung

My big issue is that it's devolved into 2 parties

Yeah. Like they get all these perks and shit

serving your nation should be a sacrifice for all involved not just the troops

Agreed

so only real patriots would want to rise to the calling

And I want all lobbying to fucking end

Put them on our pay scale

yes

Ah but there's a problem there

Cost of living in DC

Don’t care

And they have to pay their way on that

You do though

That’s on them

barracks

Because you don't wanna have to pay for their housing do you?

I thought y'all hated taxes lol

Boom. Barracks. Yes.

we alredy do...

I get what you mean

it would cost less

Not necessarily
