Too bad I'm not a billionaire. I'd just offer each GOP senator 10 million to drop out of the race just before election day. They wouldn't have to go through the process of taking money from lobbyists and getting kickbacks.
And we want a person that has to spend millions and millions to be elected to a position for 6 years that pays $176,400.00/yr. Bad return on investment for the voters. Good investment for the donors. Keep electing the same people to Congress and keep getting the same results for the taxpayers. NADA.
