What in the world do we need the Senate for? If it fell off the earth today, no one but C-Span 2 would miss it (note: they aren't even C-Span 1). It's a worthless money pit where political hacks go to impress each other and waste their lives chewing over inconsequential things.
I agree. I'd cut their pay back to what it was in 1787... one dollar a year.
