Well, let's see:
#1- US corporations with non US subsidiaries typically involve growth in local non US markets, not 'exporting jobs'. So while it sounds good to a politician, a business person would say "Huh ?".
You might as well say "Detroit needs jobs. We're going to move all the fishing industry from Louisiana up there so they can have jobs."
#2- THAT argument is SO 2008. Congress has the same health benefits as all other Federal workers. Well, except for access to the Congressional clinic, for which they pay extra.
#2b- Social Security IS NOT A TRUST FUND. Sheesh. It's an 'entitlement program'. There is no firewall. There is no piggy bank.
#3- I don't have the chapter and verse at hand, but term limits have not worked too well in those states where they have been enacted. At you'd do in a term limited Congress is push the graft and corroption early, so they get theirs before the timer runs out.
But hey.. keep thinking. I'm impressed that this wasn't a cut and paste from somewhere else. Good !
