Message: <blockquote data-quote="Baron Driver" data-source="post: 1289477" data-attributes="member: 748">I have an idea that might actually reduce the deficit.  Offer to triple the salary of every elected politician in DC if they are willing to sit at home for three years and not do any actual "work."  Three years with no ridiculous spending bills.  I'm sure it would more than offset the cost of the increased salaries (and we'd save a lot of money sending Pelosi to and from the left coast in an Air Force VC-32.)Just a thought.  I've often considered running for Congress on a "status quo" platform.  If elected, I will promise to vote no on every bill that is not a tax cut.  It's a simple promise, and it's one I can keep.  I'll stay one term, and then leave it to someone else.</blockquote>
