Congressional pay freeze recommendation doesn’t go far enough
I applaud the idea, but it doesn’t go far enough. How about Congressmen get a pay cut proportional to the size of the deficit budgets they pass? So, this year they should receive a 40% pay cut Congratulations to President Obama for passing a bill to spend more money and raise more taxes. That’s the […]
