Hear all that screaming? It is the silence of the public's concern

our lives, pure delusion. The dems refused to do their jobs and we
should keep em on? No way. If'n I hear any screaming I'll assume its
the fight to see who can reach the "Off" switch first.

Nobody will miss them, it should be tried, say for 6 months then
re-evaluate. Issue a 6 month temporary lay off with no pay. Save money.
