Here is away for congress to keep in line with all the taxes we pay...Frist, Have the House Of Repsentives, the Senate, The President, Vice President and all of their staff take a 20 Per Cent pay cut....Park the Presidents plane until things gets under control.....
Then we can go to the State Government and do the same thing..Then down to the cities and townships and cut them to....
Think of all the money that could be saved.....Also cut the money they get for all of the office they have.....Cut the rent on them in half may save us more......
Come to think of it when did they start getting paid anyway when they are suppost to be public servents to us...NOT ROYALITY.........

I think pay cuts are a great idea and I also agree that the president shouldn't be flitting all over the place during these tough economic times. Get your own house in order is always sound advice but you know how those fat cat politicians are. The screaming and howling that would result from even suggesting that they cut back would be heard around the world.

Even more savings would come from having the members of Congress stop wasting millions using Air Force jets and private planes to fly all over the world and do those things by teleconferencing. They thought the auto CEO's who are even busier than the members of Congress shouldn't use private jets, so maybe the members of Congress should at least fly coach or better yet not take so many unnecessary trips.
