First Money in a Budget Crisis comes from Congress
Stop nonsensible budget cuts that do not take care of the deficit. Congress is responsible. Let Congress pay.
At the first sign of a need for budget cuts, Congress' legislated salaries shall be the first casualty, Let all Congressional perks be unfunded, including transportation, dining out, and use of any other special privileges spawned by past Congresses.
While the people's services are under threat of removal, let Congress have no services until they have resumed their Legislated Responsibilities and created a balanced budget. Thousands of programs can be continued with the money generated while Congress argues.

Why is this important?
Congress has let the Budget hang for too long. Let Them pay for their stupidity. Before general department cuts, Congress' salary and privileges will be completely cut. Privileges are for Performance of duties and the income is token from the days when budgeting the government's expenditures was the job of Volunteers for a few years, rather than the reason for being a legislator.
