congressional compenstion overhaul
As American's we should have some say in overall compensation and benefits packages that our elected officials get. The American people should determine whats a fair compensation package and not Congress or any group assigned by Congress for such matters. An immediate 20% reduction should be imposed on all Congress' pay and medical co-pays and deductible should be adjusted to reflect the average coverage for an American who earns $50,000.00
Why is this important?
The current benefits that congress enjoys at taxpayers expense should be opened to scrutiny and a 20% reduction in pay as well as an increase in medical copays and deductibles. these co-pays and deductibles should be aligned with what coverage average workers recieve and should be implemented immediately until a reasonable bill can be put to the voters.
