How do we get back to a truly representative government?
It seems that every Congressman I hear, is more willing to fall on his Party sword than his constituency's sword! They have better healthcare than I do, but mine costs too much. They have better retirement than I do but mine costs too much. They pay less for their medications than I do, but mine cost too much. What little I do get, that I worked my whole life for I'm told that I don't deserve, but we can spend billions in the worlds largest Cocaine manufacturing country. There is a serious disconnect here, and am I the only one that sees it?
