In one of his college classes, conversation turned to the national budget, and one of his students offered, "What we really need to do is cut congress' salaries in half. I mean, those guys make like $200,000. That would save us tens of millions of dollars." <br /><br />The good thing is that the student's arithmetic was roughy correct. <br /><br />The bad thing is that the student was convinced that this could really help solve the problem. <br /><br />That seems to say a lot about where we are right now.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649280628102915160noreply@blogger.com
