I don't know about easy, but Arkansas State's MPA is probably among the cheapest, especially if you you want a program that is NASPAA accredited. Eight week sessions.
Lamar University and University of Texas Permian Basin also have very affordable programs.
I'm doing a program at Eastern Illinois University, which I really like, but it isn't technically an MPA. It's a Master of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Public Administration & Public Policy. I was admitted into all three programs I applied for (two of which were MPAs), but chose this one because it offered more flexibility with class choices, so I could tailor the degree to my own professional interests. I have a thread laying out my experience with the first semester, and providing more information about the school, here. And there's a bit more info here.
Murray State also offers an online program, and while it's reasonably priced, it's a bit more expensive than any of the others listed above.
