How To Fix The Mess In Washington

Bob Corker thinks the way to fix the mess in Washington is to tie Federal spending to GDP. Nice idea. But the incentives are all wrong. I think making Congress Critters and staff compensation proportional to real GDP would be a better idea. It puts the incentives in the right direction and the right place at a much lower cost. Of course it might need a war clause so that they don't decide to try to make their point by cutting defense too much. But other than that I think my idea is better. And how do we prevent a pump and dump operation? Eternal vigilance.
