Outsouce our Government

Let's just outsource all the government jobs. Think of how much money we could save. Our whole nation could become instantly wealthy through all the jobs and benefits to government workers we no longer have to support.

The idea certainly appeals to me. From George Bush to the sanitation workers we can use foreign outsourcing to replace them. I wonder if they would still think outsourcing is such a good idea if they knew their own job was the next one to go?
