Serious question. If the US Senate refuses to do anything because the @GOPSenate won’t cooperate on ANYTHING, even a commission to investigate 1/6 and because of a filibuster rule that doesn’t even require the opposing side to show up in person, shouldn’t everyone just go home?

I mean, if no work is going to get done and half of the Senate is vigorously committed to doing nothing at all, why should taxpayers pay to keep flying those guys and gals between their home states and DC?

If you’re going to do nothing, why should taxpayers pay for:

1) Their staffs and offices
2) Their travel expenses and per diem

Why not just shut the Senate down and keep it closed until one party has enough seats to get something done?

Or

Reform the Filibuster

You know the expression “go big or go home?”

Well, the US Senate needs to go to work or go home.

As it is, we have a few Senators who think their main job is to be Culture Critics and Social Media Influencers.

And other Senators who wouldn’t take a trip to the men’s room unless Mitch McConnell gave them permission.

This is dysfunctional. And we shouldn’t be paying for it.
