It seems like an insurmountable task for GOP candidates to take out the liberal fixtures of Nancy Pelosi, Charlie Rangel, and Barney Frank in congressional elections, but how about making them part-time workers instead? Perhaps that’s one way to minimize the amount of unpopular legislation coming out of Washington these days. Bobby Jindal thinks so. According to him, it’s about time we slice and dice the number of hours lawmakers have in a work day.
“We used to pay farmers not to grow crops, let’s make congressman stay out of Washington, D.C.,” the Louisiana Governor said in an exclusive interview with HUMAN EVENTS. “Our liberty, our wallets are safest when the legislature’s not in session,” he added, borrowing the line from Mark Twain.

I've been watching and listening to Bobby Jindal for quite awhile. IMO he could quite easily qualify as POTUS material. Now, having said that I might as really let it all hang out and also mention New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as a future candidate for POTUS. I've been paying attention to him as well. By comparison both of them make Obama look like a punk.
One report indicated new legislation would include making it manadatory to read in full issuing legislation. If these public servants become part-timers, then they might possibly get "overtime pay" for actually reading the legislation. No, they read it within their part-time allotted hours.
It's more viable an idea than ever, that public employees get replaced with a non partisan administration drawn from the private sector with thriving business bottom lines.
