Jam-proof governing

So, I watched me some Michael Moore on CNN today. Something about the Pubs unable to accomplish anything given the numbers. I watched Speaker Boehner's chat about the shootings. I also put together our new shredder. It is, supposedly, jam proof.

Wouldn't that be nice? Jam proof governing. No limitations. No roadblocks. No one to bother with needless machinations about getting reelected. Smooth sailing. I've discovered that a jam proof government would require too much in the way of common sense to actually get anything accomplished. But, I think we ought to give it a go. What's the downside? More filibuster, more sabre rattling, and more bogus pomp and circumstance. Here are some thoughts:

1. Have real debate about real issues. No more of this saving owls and deciding what an individual can do with his or her body or what religion is best or has the most holidays. Let's focus on the big rocks. Little rocks often jam up the critical path to solving the country's largest problems. Prioritize (easier said than done, I know).
2. Declare Election Day in November a national holiday. Let's get as much grease into the system as we can. For me, a person who rarely used to vote, it's imperative that more and more of us vote. If we can't have the day off, then let's move it to a weekend day. It won't solve the problem, but perhaps it will undo some of those pesky jams. Let's forego tradition with this and get more people in the fray. Perhaps some people don't want more people to vote? Now that type of thinking should be punishable.
3. Limit bills to 100 pages or less, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins. If you can't write a bill in that amount of space, then you need to rewrite. Enough said.
4. Anything that has to do with a foreign nation is automatically de-prioritized for the next two sessions of Congress. We can't work with others until we fix working with one another first.

As you know, I could go on. However, I'd love to hear from you on what ideas and thoughts you have on the topic. This really falls under the KISS paradigm (keep it simple silly/stupid). We all need a KISS from government before we get...well, I don't really want to say that here.

As always, be thankful for what you have, buy only what you need, and work diligently for peace - Signed, feeling shredded in Short Hills.
