Congressional Liquor Shop: Term Limits Reason #34,853

After having been in Congress for 35-years, then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opened a Congressional Booze Shop to make it easier for Members to drink on their job of representing Americans. They would even deliver to House offices, using taxpayer money -- that's YOUR money -- to 'tie one on.'

After decades in office, politicians do not live in our world where we are worried about illegals in our cities that Trump is now working to deport, rampant crime in Democrat cities, and so many other effects from decades of lifetime politicians who are more concerned with the special interests than their own constituents.

This reminds us of the House of Representatives banking scandal of 1992, which allowed its members to overdraw their House checking accounts without the risk of being penalized. So booze on demand without walking to the local liquor store.

Another point: local privately-owned liquor stores could have been hurt by this on-site House booze shop.

Lifetime politicians do not live in our world. It's time for term limits to restore representative government. Three terms in the House, two in the Senate, then go home to live under the laws they passed.

Here's the Tweet that broke the scandal, the sign for all staff and members to see, and the official announcement.
