She's put forth a bill to enact a 5% pay cut on every member of Congress starting in 2011. It's a start, but 5% kinda strikes me as a token, meaningless gesture. If you're making $174,000 a year, 5% is an easy cut to live with.

That's hardly 'getting it' when so many are out of work as it is. Pay them minimum wage, if at all. Cut them down to equal their approval ratings and see where that gets us. I want my money's worth, FFS.

They laugh at the pay issue, because they silently all vote for the COLA raise to the congressional pension plan every year.

If you want your money's worth, they would have to pay us for permission to work.

Which isn't a bad idea, come to ruminate on it...

I think all Senators and Members of the House should be paid exactly 4 times the current poverty level for a family of four.

Now that would give them an incentive to raise personal incomes, instead of destroying jobs.
