Reading a book the other day, I was reminded that Congress in the 18th and 19th Centuries normally adjourned from March/April to November/December. Wow! What a great idea!
Now, I'm not in favor of part-time legislatures because of the savings. That would be a start, but just a pittance. More so, I am in favor of part-time legislatures (including Congress, see above) to get them away from making so many laws that are ruining this country. To wit, the state legislature now requires school districts to report any teacher illness lasting more than three days. Now, is this to check up on teachers? I don't know. But consider the time, effort, and money spent/wasted on this.
Should we then turn to the myriad agencies created by full-time legislatures? You know, the people who are not responsible to anyone, no electorate, nobody, and give such great service, care, and concern? Let's make them, too, either part-time or nonexistent.
