What do you think about the suggestion from Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona to cut the salaries of Congress? I think she's doing it to try to raise popularity, but regardless of the reason it's still a good idea. They can cutback on themselves before they start taking more from us.

How about matching the true unemployment rate...about 17%

I am glad that someone from Congress has spoken up to push this. The fact that she is a member of the party in power should help give this more traction.

They need to cut the retirement benefits as well to prevent career politicians. These guys have the best deal around.

Looks like she is getting some momentum. Her colleagues are signing onto the bill. If they pass this measure, it would go a long way helping the PR nightmare facing Congress.

I vote for term limits as well. Yeah the career politician deal is getting to be a HUGE burden on the American people. If they had to battle it out more for their jobs, they wouldn't be in a shape to take as much time off or to be so cavalier about subjects such as unemployment.
