This is the ONE Big Thing!
Specifically draft Constitutional Amendments for our "Top 10" and force State Legislatures to call for Convention. Stop ALL personal spending in the district of any state legislator who opposes it. This will mobilize the entire business community to force their support or replace the legislator.

Well said!
This would also remove the hostility from the "dependent crowd", lest they lose what taxpayers are funding.

Your intent is spot on.
Term Limits at 2 terms (below) will force return to the private sector.
However, by requiring ALREADY-RETIRED members to forfeit Retirement Pay & Benefit when CURRENT members over-reach, we make it personal enough to get the old guard to help stop the problem.

To Prevent Campaign Contribution Corruption

Establish Campaign Contribution Accounting Office that receives and validates all Federal Contributions prior to depositing them in Candidate Accounts, including verification of U.S. Citizenship, validation that Contributions fall within Cumulative Limits and web-posting of their Name, Employer and Union Membership.

(We need to be able to publically identify kick-back earmarks and campaign-contribution bribes.)

Exceptional proposals!
You have inspired me to make some modified proposals as well.

To Constrain Spiraling Government Payroll Costs:

Cap combined Pay & Benefit increases for all elected officials at the change in the Cost of Living Index

(We need them to be in this together; more Benefits should mean less Pay.)

Require every Government employee to personally fund every Benefit of any form through Payroll Deduction

(We need them to be in this together; no free ride for Social Security, Health Care, Retirement, etc.)

To Reduce the Cost of Government

Cancel Pay & Benefit Increases for all Government employees for the year following any year that Total Government Spending grows.

(We need incentives for them to eliminate waste and increase productivity just like the private sector.)

To Control Government Spending

Limit Total Government spending to total Tax Receipts from the prior Fiscal Year

(We need to pay as we go, with no increases in Debt and no alternative to print money.)

To Sustain the Value of Our Income, Savings and Assets

Cap the Money Supply and terminate the authority of the Federal Reserve to print more.

(We need to end quasi-governmental entities with no accountability to citizens.)

To Reduce Government Debt

"All retired members of Congress will forfeit Retirement Pay & Benefits for one year following any year that the current Congress fails to reduce our debt, without resorting to printing money."

(We need the Retired Congressmen who created the system to constrain and police it.)
