Who is going to pay the salary of all these senators?

>I did the math last night. The average population of a sate is 30X what it was in 1775*. However, the number of senators for each state has remained at a constant 2 since 1775.

>Look at the last election race in Minnesota. 3 million people wanted Coleman and 2 million people wanted Mondale.

>This is a huge number of people that are not being represented, because its a winner take all election. There is no reason for this mentality.

>When you think about it, technologically, we are moving into an epoch where we are almost capable of completely removing representivies. For example, I typically despise Television, but what happened if we were allowed to be polled on issues through an internet connection while watching TV?
>
>This is a long ways off, but maybe less than a century away. However, in the mean time, I think an elegant solution to many of our governments problems would be to increase the number of US Senators from 2 per state to somewhere between 10 and 100 per state.

>We also need to insure that the POTUS is doing his job by administering the country and representing us in organizations like the UN. I think the President's job has evolved into something more powerful than the original job description and we actively need to change that back.

>* My numbers
>2000 Pop of Approx. 280 Million / 50 states
>-------------------------------------------
>1775 Pop of Approx. 2.5 Million / 13 states
