GOP Senators should agree to a pay cut.
Unless it's okay with their base for them to do nothing but sit on their hands, then leave work at 2pm every day - and still draw a full six-figure Government paycheck?

3. But It's Hard Work Voting On Useless Ammendments...
I support the legislation...let's see if anyone dares to touch it. In a time when millions are losing jobs and having to handle heavier work loads, our "representatives" should feel a little pain as well.

That means less days in the tanning bed, Boner. :rofl:

5. I remember plenty of them campaigned on the idea that
they would eliminate the Congressional Pay Raises ... which they immediately accepted, once they got in ...

That, and the fact that they were only going to serve one term ... several terms ago ...
