Aside from the fact that Steve has the cutest kittens in DC, and aside from the fact that he is already a published writer of thrillers, Mr. Mullaney also has something very cogent to say about the political climate in America today. He describes things as they are, and as they should be, for America’s People to thrive. Copied from his X post (link at the bottom). See if you don’t agree.
I don’t delve into politics too often. This should not be a partisan issue. Some people espouse term limits. For example,
@MarindaVannoy1 post about Mitch McConnell is spot on. And there is certainly something to said for that proposition. However, there is a much bigger issue, and that issue may help resolve the term limits.
+ A politician is a civil SERVANT. They SERVE the people.
+ A politician is a civil SERVANT. People are NOT a servant of the politician.
+ A politician is a contract employee. They are staff augmentation.
+ A politician is a contractor. They are TEMPORARY.
+ A politician is a contractor. They are TEMPORARILY employed by the people.
+ A politician is a contractor. They are not allowed to vote on pay raises form themselves. Only their employers, the people, are allowed to vote on whether or not the contractors are entitled to a pay increase.
+ A politician is a contractor. Their contract is “renewed” each election.
+ A politician is a contractor. They should receive no special benefits.
+ A politician is a contractor. They should not be allowed to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, as they are contractors, NOT employees.
+ A politician is a contractor. They should live by the same laws they pass. No exceptions, no carve-outs.
+ A politician is a contractor. They are not entitled to a government pension.
+ A politician is a contractor. They do not receive any benefits when no longer a contract employee.
+ A politician is a contractor. They do not receive security protection upon leaving office. The only exception may be the President and the Vice President. If everyone remembers this, if everyone enforces this, and if politicians understand this, many of them will naturally limit their time in office.
Now, just in case you don’t believe me about the kittens…
