To solve the problems of the nation, the public is now dependant on 12 super brains — six from each party. Why is there a need for all the other senators and representatives to sit around and think up ideas of how to spend the taxpayers’ money?

Just think of how much money that would save. Not just their pay, but their benefits that taxpayers pay for life.

If not cut to just 12, how about cutting Congress down to just one senator and one representative from each state? I would like such a plan to be considered, also for each state (include all the bureaucrats in those cuts).

Wow — think of how much taxes would be cut. People would have extra money to save, spend or even invest in the U.S.
