The Laquedem Congressional Spending Reduction Plan, revived for the shutdown

As long as the House of Representatives doesn't want the government to work because a majority of the House members believe the government is too large, I'd like to revive my suggestion of two years ago that Congress reduce the size of the House by a meaningful percentage, let's say by a quarter, so that the House would have 325 members instead of the present 435.  Each of the remaining members would represent about 1 million constituents and could boast about becoming 33% more productive.  The savings in cost would be modest -- Congress isn't a big part of the federal budget -- but it would be a good symbolic move.  The savings would allow the government to reopen the Panda Cam and several of our national parks, good places for the newly retired Congresspeople to go and chill out.
