The House is officially in therapy.

In the weeks after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, which left at least five dead, lawmakers and their staff in the House of Representatives are seeking out mental health counseling.

Paul Tewksbury, director of the House Office of Employee Assistance, told lawmakers in a Thursday hearing that his office has provided 760 counseling sessions since the events of Jan 6 — something he called a “significant increase.”

Tewksbury said there had been around 3,000 contacts between his office and the Capitol Hill community in the first half of 2020.

    So the "Wall" around the Capitol works, but the one on our southern border does not work???  Maybe if Congress did something to improve their approval rating, they wouldn't need so much mental health counseling.  When was that rating ever above 30 percent?  Maybe they could try DOING THEIR JOB!!!  Let's try TERM LIMITS:  One term only, no reelection campaigns, House - 3 years, Senate - 5 years, POTUS - 4 years, SCOTUS - 9 years ( replace one every year).  This would attract true patriots looking for real public service, not those seeking power and lifetime careers for personal benefit.  Lobbying influence would also be reduced.  Let's put "Representative" back into our Government.
