I just read an article titled, “Faces of Congress changing quickly.” Forty-seven members of Congress are retiring or seeking other positions: 39 representatives and eight senators.

Many in government say this is bad. I think it is good. In fact, more of them should be leaving and looking for other employment.

Our Founding Fathers never meant for Congress to be a lifetime position. Many of these people have never had any type of employment; they couldn’t run a business.

Any business that went into debt like this government is would be in bankruptcy. They spend billions of dollars with a stroke of a pen, with no idea where the money is going to come from.

We the people are at fault for voting in these people time after time. We the people need to wake up and vote these lifetime politicians out of office. There are many of them on both sides of the aisle.
