An In-depth Analysis of Congress --- the Problem and the Solution

     Five hundred forty-five (545) individuals in Washington have all the political power in the United States to overrule all the politicians and judges in all fifty states.  There are 435 members of the House of Representatives, 100 in the Senate, 9 Supreme Court Justices and 1 president.  They can do anything they want to do.  Yet these 545 individuals and their predecessors have bankrupted the country, created a debt  of over 14 Trillion Dollars which can never be paid, allowed hoards of drug-dealing illegal aliens across the boarder, made this great and resource-rich country energy dependent on a miserable bunch of mad dicatators in the Middle East --- a flock of crackpots and psychos such as the world has never  seen before in one place at one time --- and destroyed the credibility and respect which the United States once enjoyed throughout the world.  If that's not enough they have gotten into three wars in ten years, which is an average of about thirty in a century.
     Why not select 545 people at random from any urban telephone directory and set up a better government than the flop that we have now?  With any luck this new government would consist of men and women with more brains, character, human decency and honor than the miserable collection of clowns, buffoons and bumble-brained morons who are there now (no, not all, but all too many.  I still go for the telephone book method).  Or we can try to persuade Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to take us back.  Unfortunately she's probably too smart to do that.
     That's my analysis of Congress.  God Save the Queen
