Things to think about.
Amid the squabbling, the Senate last week suspended without pay three members after an audit revealed “troubling” expense claims.
Here is a novel approach to save taxpayers billions.
Give the senators a Great Big Golden Parachute (GBGP) to vote themselves out of existence – to suspend themselves in perpetuity.
(If they can suspend three of themselves; why can’t they suspend all, I ask you?)
The GBGP would get rid of the whole kit and caboodle in one fell swoop.
Now I am sure such a line would take some legalese and a few loonies to boot, but it is much simpler than trying to get the various powers that be outside the Senate all lined up to do the deed – that last line of attack must take a century and multi-billions of bucks to accomplish.
