One Idea That Could Solve All Our Budget Problems

A modest proposal for saving hundreds of billions of dollars.

As usual, The Onion's headline says it all: "U.S. Government to Save Billions by Cutting Wasteful Senator Program."

"According to officials, the decision to cut the national legislative body was reached during a budget review meeting on Tuesday. After hours of deliberation, it was agreed that the cost of financing U.S. senators far outweighed the benefits they provided."

For the humor-challenged, I'll spell it out: This is satire.
