Congress is actually using your tax dollars to pay social scientists to find ways they can avoid actually talking to their constituents while improving their chances of reelection.

I wish I could take credit for THIS great idea...

Bring them home permanently, and let them telecommute!

Not to mention... they could save big $ and "precious carbon points" on private jets etc.

TERM limits.................and no INCUMBENTS in 2010!

There's the remedy!!!!

Ike in Birmingham, Al has the right idea, bring them home and let them telecommute. I've insisted for years that the people in Washington, D.C. no longer know how the common man in the street lives, works, or thinks. Maybe if they had to live in their districts, drive their own cars, pay their own bills, mow their yards, we'd get a more responsive Federal government.

Pop for Ike's comment.
