I had the gun control talk with a co-worker yesterday. I tried to explain that if gun control laws are put in place the only ones that will have guns are the bad guys.

Well I have never seen a trigger pull itself. There was always some man behind the weapon that is uncontrolled, or controlled. The controlled man needs to be Controlled not the gun. The man with control will use a weapon in a very professional way. JMHO. RTR!

The gun laws we have now are not enforced. If it wasn't for the law abiding gun owners, it would be as if these laws did not exist.

One problem is that liberals do not know the difference between semi and fully automatic guns. Fully automatic are already banned. The semi-auto assault weapons that the gun control people want to ban because of school shootings are the same as my 30.06 deer rifle. Except they look like M-16s (AR-15 are the semi-auto). If these numbnuts knew anything, what they really want to (need to) limit is magazine (clip) capacities- not the shape of the gun.

The Israelis can pull this off. Our teacher unions would be worse at shooting as they are at teaching, demand an extra 40K a year, and be cramming Cheetohs in their mouth in the teachers lounge when the need arose.

In the coming New Year, 2013, both Groundhog Day and the State of the
Union address will occur on the same day.

This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.

One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little Intelligence for prognostication.

The other involves a groundhog.

When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.

Wall street and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and the board of directors gives upper corporate management big bonuses.

Our government should not be immune from similar risks.

Therefore:

Reduce the House of Representatives from the current 435 members to 218 members.
Reduce Senate members from 100 to 50 (one per State). Then, reduce their remaining staff by 25%.
 
Accomplish this over the next 8 years (two steps/two elections) and of course this would require some redistricting.

Some Yearly Monetary Gains Include:
 
$44,108,400 for elimination of base pay for congress. (267 members X $165,200 pay/member/ yr.)
 
$437,100,000 for elimination of their staff. (Estimate $1.3 Million in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Million in staff per each member of the Senate every year)
 
$108,350,000 for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%.

$7,500,000,000 reduction in pork barrel earmarks each year. (Those members whose jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at $15 Billion/yr).

The remaining representatives would need to work smarter and improve efficiencies.It might even be in their best interests to work together for the good of our country!
 
We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well.It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing.
 
Congress has more tools available to do their jobs than it had back in 1911 when the current number of representatives was established. (Telephone, computers, cell phones to name a few)
 
Note:
Congress does not hesitate to head home for extended weekends, holidays and recesses, when what the nation needs is a real fix for economic problems. Also, we had 3 senators who were not doing their jobs for the 18+ months (on the campaign trail) and still they all accepted full pay. Minnesota survived very well with only one senator for the first half of this year. These facts alone support a reduction in senators and congress.

Summary ofopportunity:

$44,108,400 reduction of congress members.

$282,100,000 for elimination of the reduced house member staff.
 
$150,000,000 for elimination of reduced senate member staff.

$70,850,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining house members.

$37,500,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining senate members.

 $7,500,000,000 reduction in pork added to bills by the reduction of congress members.

$8,084,558,400 per year, estimated total savings. (That's 8-BILLION just to start!)
 
Corporate America does these types of cuts all the time.
There's even a name for it.

"Downsizing."
------------------------------
 Also, if Congresspersons were required to serve 20, 25 or 30 years (like everyone else) in order to collect retirement benefits, taxpayers could save a bundle.
