Paycuts for Congress
Any across-the-board pay cuts for Federal employees must include the same pay cuts for all members of Congress and the President of the United States.
Why is this important?
Where in Congress's proposal for a twenty-percent across-the-board pay cut for Federal employees is the same twenty-percent pay cut for members of Congress and the President? Are they not Federal employees? Aren't these the people who keep telling us that everyone must share the burden?
The across-the-board cuts set to go into effect at the end of the week will hurt the economy and should be stopped. But if Congress insists on cutting anyone's salary, they should cut their own paychecks first.
We pay their salaries. It is up to us to demand that they accept the same percentage of reduction to their paycheck as every other Federal employee.
