Defund politicians!

Agree! Congress used to give stipends to offset travel costs.
Congress changed the law so they could line their pockets, and they keep on giving themselves increases.

Time we literally defund them and send them home to their districts where they can telecommute for nothing.
No more Pay!!!

Let's start with banning unnecessary travel.
1. If you are President, keep you ass in the White House. No going to Camp David or the like. Only necessary travel. No running for office of any kind, whether it is for you or your associates. If a President has to travel somewhere, it has to be for legit purposes.
2. Defund foreign countries. No more giving money to any foreign country without any strings attached. The only support we should ever give is auxiliary military or non-financial humanitarian aid. We can park a carrier group near the conflict and maybe have air support like planes, missiles, tactical support for clear allies like Israel. Ukraine is not our problem. Putin is not going to pull a Hitler and go to war with Europe.
3. Defund illegals. Not a dime for them. Close the border. Nothing says we have to take anybody in.
4. Defund the ghetto lifestyle. No baby mama payments. Everybody needs to work, be clean, and be law abiding.
5. Defund the extortion of it's citizens. No tolls, no overtaxing of citizen's property (how can my car get older/less value yet the yearly tax goes up on what they say it is?), no punishing it's citizens that isn't for actual punishing.
6. Defund IRS, as well as fix financial laws. It should be a flat or fair tax. It's our money, and I am only responsible for that tax amount. Nobody's business if it is legally earned.
7. No bills to be voted on with unrelated pork crap in it. If it is for infrastructure, only infrastructure  items.

It all starts with what we vote for. "We the people" allow our politicians to screw us over. I do believe this next election will be a shock for those who count on the status quo.
