If programs are going to be cut to reduce the deficit, then the Congress and Senate must also take reductions in their salary to help cut the deficit. We are all in this together.
Why is this important?
Lowering the current deficite appears to be the focus of the current Congress and Senate. They are hell bent on cutting the programs that assist many during this economical downfall. If they are as serious as they claim they are they should start with their salary's. If they expect us all to make concessions then they should lead by example and start with their salary.
