U.S. Congress shrinks to Super Congress

or How to control the masses with smoke screens and mirrors.

Sen. Harry Reid said it was his idea to pass the buck of cutting the deficit onto a committee of six people. He would argue this was a good compromise.

There is a total of 535 Congressmen: 100 Senators and 435 House members and none of them, according to Mr. Reid, can do what they were elected to do i.e., make laws. No-sirree-Bob, this would take a special group of six people, three of whom he would personally select.

Aside of the insults, and perhaps relief of other like-minded members of Congress, and aside of the will of voters, Mr. Reid feels this is the best solution he could come up with for those of us “…living in the greatest country in the world”.

Mr. Reid himself would not be so bothered writing individual bills to present to Congress.

“Who, me? Sitting around writing bills? You gots’ta be out of your cotton pickin’ mind!”

To be sure, Mr. Reid would assert his idea as being Democracy at work. “Democracy at its best,” he would murmur, waving his little American flag, “We should all be proud living in a country wherein such a solution can be implemented”, he concludes.

Let’s see now, we vote in a Congress and Mr. Reid feels only six members are relevant, three of whom he would pick to write special and important laws. Whoopi, oh how lucky we are! Gosh!

P.S. It was originally six people on the committee. I am now hearing on the Ed Schultz Show there will be 12 committee members.
