Members of Congress should not get free premium health care for life.

For every economic decline in the private sector, the government should be required to make a correlating spending cut in the public sector.
Look at how many private-sector businesses are hurting right now. Government should be making cuts to equal the decline instead of leeching the same amount from the taxpayers. No more private sector cuts without public sector cuts!!!!!! No more weathering recessions and depressions on the backs of the productive!!!!

She is right on this.
Congressional reps and Senators vote on legislation that affects the economy - industries and business, everything. They have the power to introduce and push for laws that they can their friends financially benefit from. So they should not be allowed to own stock or any financial assets during their time in office. It's like a sports ball player betting on the game he's in.
Anything the member of congress owns before going into office should be liquidated and put into an escrow account that keeps up with inflation and maybe gives them a small return once they leave office.

Good luck with that. I believe that would cut off quite a revenue stream.
