And now a little section I like to call...

"Things I'd do if I had enough money to repay the national debt but didn't repay it and instead did something cool with it:"

I'd buy Major League Baseball. Then I would announce a per player salary cap of $1million. This would cause the over-paid babies to strike. I would then fire them and bring up the minor leaguers to replace them. Somebody has to be willing to "play a game" for $1millon or less a year. I know these guys work hard standing around for upwards of 3 hours a day 4 or even 5 times a week but I think most people, even those who work 80 hours a week would be happy with a Major League starting salary. It may sound cold-hearted but don't really feel sorry for people who do that little, get paid that much, and want more. And if the minor leaguers feel like they are getting cheated I'll just fire them and replace them with the guys from the Little League World Series. I think they drew a bigger audience than most Major League teams anyway and will work for video games and junk food.
