A call for more government holidays

This morning’s Columbus Day commute proves that we have too many government bureaucrats in Austin, Texas. The drive was a breeze. I’d estimate we had 35% fewer automobiles on the highway.

I propose we encourage our politicians and their staffs to stay home. Think of all the benefits. If they aren’t in office, they can’t pass more inane legislation. They can’t waste our tax dollars on idiotic programs. They can’t pander to the power brokers behind the scenes who really control the strings.

Yes. It is time for our government to act more responsibly by not acting at all. Do us all a favor. Stay home. Not only will your magnanimous inaction keep from driving your constituents insane, but it will make our drive to work so much more pleasant.
