Fixing Our Economy by Ron Paul

[uscitizen]

The congressional elitists in both parties are sadly out of touch with the realities faced my most of the American people.

what to do about it? One of the items on the origional contract with America. Make all laws that apply to the public also apply to government officials.

Also make them adjust their staffing and budget to the shifts in the economy.
10% unemployment then they lay off 10% of their staff.
etc.

So true about being out of touch. Before they figure out what to do about the economy, they need to pause and seriously consider and reach some consensus on what factors got us into this economic pickle. The following article sheds some light on this:

The Seduction of America -- Seeking Alpha

I expect that would scare of corporate campaign contributions though.
What congress cares the most about is getting reelected.
