Line up were ready to take some questions. Hi, my name is sean, and im from the university of san diego. So speaking about incentives for Congress People to take the long view, take the hard vote, what do you think in your opinion is the best solution to incentivizing individual Congress People to take the long view . Well, first of all, nobodys going to do something that deliberately and intentionally causes their loss. That wou defy the laws of nature. So im from kansas so if i went up and i said wheat programs are bad for this country, im going to vote against them my constituents would think i was nuts. Okay. Because im sent there to represent their views, their perspectives on as much as i can. But im also sent up this to use my own up there to use my own judgment with as well.

Which again i thought it would. But do you know why we have voting on tuesdays . Because about 200 years ago most people liked to go to church and a lot lived too far from county seat to get there too far on monday. So you go to church on sunday, ride your horse and vote on tuesday. Chris rock said do you know why . Because they dont want us to vote. There is a strong sentiment that hard working folks who dont have an ability to control their own
