Let's cutback on wasteful spending..

[Danzig]

ex pols cost us plenty. that too brief article is only the tip of the iceberg. ex senators, representatives....the list goes on and on i'm sure.
but i really think the main reason for printing that was to get another dig at bush jr.

current pols cost plenty as well. senior congressman are allowed far more expense dollars than their junior colleagues. i know at one point ted kennedy had over 400 staff members, he cost plenty since he'd been there so long. yet another reason to have term limits and no retirement after just a couple terms.
