Issue Position: Cut Congressional Pay by 15% and Dedicate to Debt Reduction

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

Our national debt is a national disgrace. The fault lies with our members of Congress. They should not continue to make a comfortable salary while bankrupting our country. We should cut Congressional pay for members and their staffs until the budget is balanced. And members of Congress, staff or federal employees who aren't paying their taxes should be replaced immediately.
*15% cut to the salaries of: Members of Congress, Congressional Staff, Member Spending Accounts until the budget is balanced
*Federal employees that don't pay their taxes should be fired
