PORKBUSTING: A 100% GUARANTEED WAY TO GET THE CONGRESS TO CUT THE PORK

Glenn and TTLB are nobly trying to unite bloggers and unleash the power of the blogosphere to help cut federal pork-barrel spending by exposing pork projects they know about locally and making a BIG stink. They've even come up with a clever "handle" and a cute logo/button: "PORKBUSTERS."

This is all well and good - and it may expose some heretofore unknown examples of pork (though I'd betchya most people know where most of the fat is: in other peoples districts!!! Heh!)

There's a much MUCH simpler way to do it, and I guarantee it'll be 100% effective:

Let's just put all the Congressmen and Congresswomen on COMMISSION!

That would give them a personal incentive to cut spending. Here's how it would work: The Congress'd get a 2% commission - TAX FREE! - of whatever they cut/save. The Congressmen would have to share it, so, it would get divided by 535 the members of Congress. If they cut $60BILLION, then each Senator and Representative would get $225,000. The more they cut, the more they make. This gives them incentive to cut A LOT. But if they cut too much, then their constituents might vote them out of office.
