I think we should do to Congress what any other employers would do if their employees were striking and refusing to budge on negotiations.
We stop paying them, and we hire scabs to fill in for them.
But where to find the scabs? It may be difficult to find people willing to fill in at a job where the pay is quite decent, the benefits are huge, the interns are willing, your employers don't actually know what you do and don't really expect anything from you, and you can't get fired for at least four years unless you're actually caught on camera sacrificing children (and even then, it depends which children).
Still, in this economy, SOMEONE will be willing to take on the burden.

I've just been informed that only the President has a term of office lasting four years... Representatives have two-year terms, Senators six years. The error is funny enough to leave in, since it just goes to show that people who only pay occasional attention to politics when something goes REALLY wrong, and then complain about the government not working right (a category which clearly includes me, and I suspect it includes quite a high percentage of voters) often don't know how it DOES work.
