I know what to cut in the budget |
|
The congressional salary and maybe even the salary of the cabinet. Why do we have to pay these people such high salaries for doing the public's work? I say only pay them enough to maintain residency and to make the commute to DC. As for the cabinet, I think the majority of them are just fine financially, so they don't need our dollars.

1. We pay over $6,000 an hour while W is in flight |
|
Why isn't he grounded permanently? Along with Laura appearing on frivilous TV photo-ops?

2. The problem is that is that only the wealthy could hold office |
|
Which is pretty much the case now but occasionally a non-rich person slips in. We need some commoners in there. I do think it would be a nice gesture if the really wealthy ones would give up their salaries.
