Crooks and Liars: Susie Madrak- 'Bill Maher: Presents His Thoughtful Sequester Solutions'

Source:Real Time With Bill Maher- talking about the sequester.

"Nice to know that in this time of sequester madness, we have intellectuals like Bill Maher working so hard to find workable solutions to the impasse. This made me laugh out loud, especially the Rube Goldberg part."

From Crooks and Liars

I have my own solutions to this problem and they seem funny, but they are actually realistic as well.

Lock House Speaker John Boehner in a room with Senate Leader Harry Reid together in a super max prison in a prison cell and treat them like prison inmates doing their time in solitary confinement. With the difference being that they are together, with just enough water and food to survive. And don't allow them to shave to or take a shower or even leave the cell.

Force Speaker Boehner and Leader Reid to share the same cot until they come up with an agreement to end the sequester. And then Boehner and Reid could actually experience what it's like to be in prison, but what it's like to work for a living. Two experiences that I doubt they ever want to repeat again. (Why else serve in Congress) 

To make it worse for the two leaders of Congress: for each day they don't reach an agreement on how to end the sequester, they have to listen to either Britney Spears or Roseanne Barr sing the national anthem in a glass room.

These conditions might sound harsh and would put President Obama in the same cell with Speaker Boehner and Leader Reid. But the President of the United States actually has to work for a living and produce results, a difference between being an executive and a legislature. 

And if people are dumb enough to to try to deal with a debt and deficit by cutting things that work well and are needed as much as things that don't work well and aren't needed, then they should suffer the consequences.
