It’s the same in the UK. There will be discussions of changes to policies or laws but there’ll only be a few people in on the two sides. Almost like most members of parliament, see it as not important with what’s changing.

Our tax dollars at work.Well supposedly

You shouldn't be upset. These are committees not the whole House, that's why the chamber looks empty. After these bills pass committee, they get packaged into larger bills that go to a House vote.

We demand the congress including so called Democrat’s buts to be at work and in their chairs if they are too old and sick then step down.

Most democrats would, and some Republicans would. But others would be against it. The would be claiming that the FBI and CIA have taken over democracy and are targeting you representatives. They would claim it is a woke agenda. But yet everyday politicians are saying to hold the otherside accountable. It will be one of those things that will have filibuster written all over it.

If that happened, would you read it? Pay vigorous attention to the report? Monitor the summary activities in full? I'm not being specious, I'd really like to know.

@Debra VanAusdale I think most would, the problem is there isn’t any streamlined process to do this, it’s really simple the report should show who was attended what their vote was what their voting on in a summary, with a link to the full details, also bills should be made stand alone no amendments no taking on 80 pages of bs that muddies the water on what the original bill was for. It should be I wanna do this, here is the cost. Yay or nay then done and if it was done like that then you could do wonders and a report would be a simple easy to maintain request

@@debravanausdale1063 yes, I would definitely look at all of my elected representative's reports. The level of detail I think is "doable" would enable the reader to glean the amount of time on legislation, campaigning, goofing off, an fit on one page. Thanks for asking.

Agreed

The problem with your sentiment is 5x is really not much more than their low income constituents already make. The middle Income already make more than that, and it is the low and middle Income people being hit the hardest by the GOP mishandling of the government.

Except most of their money is argued as "donations", all it would change is the Bernie Sanders and honest/new politicians would be paycheck to paycheck, and the corrupt would live rent free, what we really need is a cap on campaign donations by income, so to make yourself wealthy is to minimize your re-election capital, minimizing second term politicians that are useless or greedy, but allowing those who want to stay at personal sacrifice to do so, as well as effective leaders who keep word of mouth.

How about if we just pay them one dollar a year. The lobbyists can pay the rest they’re doing it anyway we might as will save a little money

I support that 💯% but what I understand in all our government officials it would be that game ummm oh yeah *the blaming game it's everyone else fault.

Rep. Lauren Boebert originally reimbursed herself $21199.52 for mileage, which would have reflected nearly 37000 miles driven. This was between April 1 and early November in the same year. Do the math and the time this would have taken and then say she isn't corrupt.

​@@bonsa1guy vote MAGA ! TRUMP 2024 !!

I agree with the top statement! They are just wasting our time and money!

How to make them accountable is, "No congressperson's pay, shall exceed 5 times the minimum wage of their constituents. Simple and effective! It would get rid of the working poor, (so called socialism) plus they would not be able to line their pockets, at the expense of their constituents.

IDK why she’s wanting transparency and accountability when the Trump administration had the worst transparency ever. And complaining about inflation when Republicans rejected a measure to cut corporate price gouging. Just another example of Republicans blaming Dems for things they have in their power to fix, and refuse to do so.

Good luck with that.

We can't have it both ways. If you want tax cuts then that means less benefits. If you want more assistance that means everyone will be taxed more. American people are taxed to death. If the government stop subsidizing out of the constitutional limit then prices would drop!

The "people in need" require more FBI, ATF, IRS etc etc ? From what I heard, she was asking for cuts in spending for those alphabet soup agencies that are being weaponized against US. Before you start flailing all the accusations that "I don't care about helping people", let me stop you. If we weren't wasting so much money on the behemoth Federal Gov't bureaucracy, perhaps we COULD actually help people in need of real help?

And an earnings cap

The less we pay Congress the more that only wealthy people will be able to work in Congress, or people taking bribes. So before you decide we need to cut their pay maybe think about what effect it will have besides your desire to punish them being satisfied.
