Maybe the American people should take away the right of Congress to spend
dollar amounts.  The only figures they should manipulate are percentages.
Each year they can figure out what percentage of the budget goes to each
program.  Once they get the estimated amount of Uncle Sam's income for that
year - the budget would be finished.

Of course, then they would just turn the TAX SCREWS tighter!

But then the people could take away their right to increase our taxes
without first cutting their salaries.
