I firmly believe that every member ofCongress should have to spend 6 months on unemployment and have to live on that alone. Perhaps the culture shock would produce a Congress that works for the people rather than their respective political careers. Failing that, vote out every current member of Congress in favor of new people who will act for the country, not just act.Sep 23rd, 2011Someone from Alachua, FL signed.

I was employed for 30 years then became unemployed in 2007 when my company sold the division I was in. Thankfully, I just found a job but it took a long time and I never collected 1 dime of goverment help due to technicallities of when I applied for unemployment. Anyway, I now know what it is like to be poor and not able to make ends meet. Those who are employed need a 'taste' of NO MONEY. Our politicians need it too and need to quit being so 'disconnected'.REPORT COMMENTS

I second the comment of Diane C. of Spearfish, SD: It's time to end the political terrorism that is being played on the citizens of this country. We should have no reason to be afraid. Congress should be afraid. Their long term failures, hypocrisy and inability to govern is bringing this country to it's knees. We citizens need to find our collective voice and speak out, loud and often.REPORT COMMENTS
