If you want to see some screaming, eliminate House fringe benefits especially lifetime health care and pensions, limit staffs to bare bones, and reduce salaries to an average of private sector wages in the Congressman's district.
Congressman should never be a career job. Most of us out here could do the job for a couple of years, probably better than the "professionals" who feed at the trough.
