Bush Lays Off Congress.
Will Outsource Lawmaking To India
__WashingtonDC(AP) - Citing the growing cost of running the Federal government and the need to cut costs in order to reduce the budget deficit, President Bush announced today that he was laying off all 535 members of Congress and transferring lawmaking operations to a legislative support center in Bangalore, India.
_"Hey, outsourcing is the way to go these days," said Bush at an impromptu news conference where he announced the decision.
The outcry from the newly laid-off Senators and Representatives was swift. Ex-congressman Tom Delay said, "This is absolutely outrageous. How can a bunch of replacements over in India run Congress? What do they know about filibusters and committee hearings, lobbyists, fact finding junkets, pork barreling and PAC contributions?"
