I think congress people should have a much higher salary, I also think there should be an educational/degree requirement, and I think they should be barred from trading or holding stocks while in office. And election campaigns should be publicly funded.

If you’re not qualified to manage a fast food restaurant without a degree, then you’re not qualified to manage an entire congressional district.

I'd rather have voters decide who is qualified

Well instead, the billionaires decide, so I guess neither of us gets what we want 🙂
