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!!!!

How about a 13th Amendment that NO LAWYERS can serve in Congress.

Precede with that and it pretty much becomes redundant.

"lawyer" is just a profession. And those should not be regulated by the government. A school should be able to select their teachers, a person should be able to select their financial consultant, etc.; not the state, and definitely not some private company (the bar, the aca, whatever regulates beauticians, etc.) It's all protectionist bullshit.

That said, term limits, and ending lifetime compensation packages should get rid of many career politicians. The 13th amendment should be something along the lines of "representatives of a constituency should always put them first in their decisions, or rope" of course it would have to be slightly more detailed to prevent frivolous cases, like what is currently happening to trump.

As in no one with a law degree or no former bar association members?

The former could make things a little tricky given that their job is writing laws.

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.
