The Repugs want to shrink the size of government? Nothing could be easier!
All it would require is for the 240 Republican members of the House of Representatives and the 47 Republican Senators to quit! Walk away! Take a fucking Palin!
The legislative branch of government would instantly be reduced by almost 54%. Come on, folks, you claim to be patriots; and you insist that shrinking government would be good for the country! Do it for the good old USA!

1. just checked
rough figures.. it cost 5 billion to run congress every year... and 4 million/candidate that runs for office...

okay... no more campaigns and let our reps go... figure there are lots of really good people that would do it for much less
