435 house representatives times $4,400 equals $1,914,000 in government waste a year.

Yes. Since 1913, when 435 members became the set number for the House of Representatives, we've been able to declare reality and go to a single representative for the entire US instead of 1 + 434 other money sucking piglets.

I mean, with only one representative for the country, we save boatloads of money, and the "no taxation without repesentation" flimflammery will still be satisfied...

Lots of countries have tried that...the representatives are known as "dictators"!
