D.C. swamp

Sun., Feb. 18, 2018

I have a few suggestions for cleaning up the D.C. swamp.

1. Term limits on House and Senate, eight years each.

2. All campaigns are financed by us the people. Absolutely no outside money or gifts.

3. Absolutely no investments in any stocks or businesses while in office.

These people go into office and within a few years they are millionaires. They get gifts. They invest in the stock market because they control the rules of Wall Street. They thrive on getting their face on TV. They do not represent us, they represent themselves.

If something doesn’t happen soon with the way these people get into office and how long they are there, we won’t have a country left.
