Girl Scouts for Congress



            We need to improve the reputation of Congress.  Here’s an idea.  .Let’s have the Girl Scouts take over.  They have proven they are astute money managers, capable of handling serious matters effectively.  They are dedicated.  They are energetic.  They all seem to be able to get along with each other.  They have an outstanding outreach program and highly developed customer relations skills.  Everybody likes their cookies. By all important measures they are responsible and committed to America’s system of economic enterprise.  None of them seems to want to shut down the Girl Scouts, or exclude groups of girls from the benefits of membership.  They work hard.  Probably more than three days a week.  They don’t seem to have any “gotcha” tricks up their sleeves—they’re just focused on achievement.  And, you don’t have to show identification to support Girl Scouts.  There seems to be no attempt to limit the number of people who can participate in buying cookies.
            I think the Girl Scouts would be admirable Senators and Representatives.  Then, Congress could go sell cookies.  And learn something!  I always support the Girl Scouts—buy cookies every year—but I know I’d love to smile at my Congressman, and politely tell him to get off my porch.
