Any Cuts in pay or Budget affecting government workers will also apply to Congressmen and Senators.
Why is this important?
I work for the Government. Our budget, staffing, and pay have been cut to save money. I have no problem sacrificing for my country, but what about the Senate and Congress. Budget cuts never affect them or the several hundred staff members(that's each congressmen and Senator, literally hundreds of staff) They make 3-4 times what me and my fellow government workers make, yet they continue to get yearly pay raises and never face any budget cuts.
