1. Pay senators and congressmen 50 thousand a year max.
2. Take away the cushy medical plans, they should do what everyone else does.
3. Hold them criminally liable for and misdeeds that affect the public.
4. No more deluxe retirement plans at our cost. They should have to plan for their own retirement just like we do.
5. Take away their ability to vote themselves raises and benefits. If their performance is exemplary then let the public vote them a bonus.

Many politicians begin their offices with good intent but end up mired by way things have been done for years. These positions should be for serving the people of America, not for a particular political agenda. I hold all politicians in equal contempt. They may be a necessary evil, but we do have the power to change this. Learn about the political process. Get out and vote, make your opinion count.
Just my opinion.
