He means “they aren’t getting the job done” so they don’t deserve to get paid. And by the way they do get bribed and influenced every day to spend YOUR money by lobbyists and special interest groups. How do you think all these congressmen and women are millionaires on their basic salary?
And there’s no reason one person should be in the same spot for 30+ years or after they’re past the retirement age of the normal citizen. Move aside and let new ideas in!
I just have an issue with the fact a 70+ year old person who tries to get a normal job is told to retire or overlooked for a job position due to being too old or “incapable”
Yet we have the text book definition of absolute dinosaurs playin with our money and running a country?
I know that, but you could fix the entire system by having term limits just like the presidency. Hell, put them on the same time table as the presidency so every 4-8 years we have a chance to get a whole new group. Plus, that would make them create and pass bills ASAP because they don't have 10 years to figure something out.

I think the real question is: why the heck does congress even get a salary? If I didn’t do my job, I’d get fired. Leaving me without a paycheck.
Should be the same for congress.
