That's exactly what the Libertarians have been trying to tell you people
for decades!

We need to get rid of all that expensive ridiculous government and give
Liberty a try for a change. According to the Constitution of the United
States, the government is supposed to consist of:

.. One President
.. One Vice President
.. One Hundred Senators
.. 435 Representatives (at the moment)
.. Nine Supreme Court Justices.

And that's all it should take!

Sigh. Yet *another* person pontificating about the Constitution, without
having taken the time and trouble to actually read and understand it.

Well, your first statement is not only not true, but comes with the tone
of one who wishes to insult me rather than address actual issues, therefore,
your opinion has no value.

Rich, this isn't a matter of opinion. It is a matter of objective fact that
the Constitution explicitly provides for more than just the 546 officials you
name. If you had read it, you would know this.
