I think Senators should give back all their pay and benefits...
They should lead by example. The pay and benefits they receive make them lazy and corrupt.

Make them punch a time clock and the only pay they get is when THEY ARE ON THE FLOOR voting. Bath room breaks and smoke breaks they MUST punch out or face termination.

I think we should drug test all Senators to make sure there is nothing in their blood stream that will affect their decision.

Mr. Bunnning is clearly suffering from an acute case of HUA (head up ass)

1. and their breaks can be limited to 15 minutes per four hours --
and lunches are limited to one hour. That INCLUDES travel time. Oh yeah -- random drug testing should be done, as well as logging everything on their government computers, blackberries, etc.
