On A Sunday Morning Senate Sidewalk?

 It's Sunday morning and in the United States Senate chamber, staffers are reading the "Big Beautiful Bill" aloud to those in the chamber. This is a result of Sen. Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer invoking some rarely used rule to delay debate on the bill. Let's make a change in this process. Let's require those who voted for the bill to be read aloud, to be in the chamber to hear it being read. 

Requiring a bill to be read with a scattering of lawmakers actually in attendance to hear it is "political masturbation". This is nothing but a waste of employee time and taxpayer money. Those voting to have this read should have the cost deducted from their official paychecks. We aren't allowed to deduct anything from all of that money they take "under the table".

If in my many years in the restaurant business, I had been asked by an employee to read a policy change to them, I would have read it to them and then fired them. This is exactly what we should do with Senators. The United States Senate has less turnover than the old Soviet Politburo. We need to change that statistic.

Sen. Thom Tillis springs to mind immediately when I think of the need for change in the United States Senate. I know that Tillis is running for re-election because every time that I turn on the computer there is an ad from some group supporting Tillis. Thom Tillis is a walking case for term limits in Washington. He is closing in on the end of his second term. If it's a two-term limit for Presidents, why not Senators?

There are people in Congress who have been there for thirty or forty years. Slopping at the public trough should not be a career field. Let's have term limits for all elected officials. After that, we can start on term limits for all federal employees. If that bothers you, tell me what federal government operation is your model of productivity to be emulated by other government operations.

There is a mandatory retirement age of 65 for commercial airline pilots. We won't fly with a guy over 65, but we let a senile old guy named Joe run the country for four years. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this? By the way, the pilots have to pass a physical exam every year. 

In New York City, the Democratic primary was won by a guy who claims to be a "Democratic Socialist". This is a political term that the media uses for "Communist". Twenty-four years after a group of Islamic terrorists flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, Democrats voted for a Muslim Communist to lead their city. What could possibly go wrong? In a year, Miami could replace New York City as the financial center of the nation. 

The biggest business boom in New York City if Mamdani is elected will be U-Haul dealers and moving companies. Mamdani's vision of government owned grocery stores will cause us to redefine "Cluster F*ck". It's Sunday, I left out the "u".
