Michale By abolishing these two positions paid for by taxpayer dollars, we could easily cut fifty times what President Obama is voluntarily giving up from his own salary. While congressional chaplains might have been seen as a necessity in days of yore, in the modern world they are nothing more than a luxury -- a luxury we just can't afford any longer, no matter how much "history and tradition" is involved.

You won't find me disagreeing with any of this...
