   Actually most of the people in Congress wouldn't care. With their ability to   
   engage in insider trading and knowing that Congress will protect themselves   
   in any event.. they could weather such an event..

   Yep. That is imperative, and if the convention of states is ever called I   
   hope such an Amendment to bring federal spending under control and to start   
   service of the existing debt. It will mean the federal government will have   
   to stop giving away our money to the world and a great many projects will be   
   canceled or never started (which we can probably do without) and those in   
   Congress should face consequences if they fail to follow such an Amendment   
   from removal from office to jail time served behind bars.

   Yep.

   Well, he needs some guards, and we need to consider how much is actually   
   being spent, and how much would actually be saved..

   ROTFLMAO.. point.. but then Biden is an idiot which everyone knows even if   
   people refuse to publically admit it.
