Lets get serious. Cut expenditures. Where do we start?
Government pensions
US President $180,000 per year for life, House & Senate $174,000 for life, .Speaker of House $223,000 for life, majority/ minority leaders $193,400 or life. They will not get any increase in salary or pension until March 2013. HOW SAD. Compare this with a teachers average salary $40,065 or a service man in Afghanistan an average of $38,000 per year.
Lets put these elected Reps and Senators on a Fixed per diem salary for each day they are in session and are actually present.
And finally make their salary subjected to FICA taxes like the rest of us.
It's the system, not just Jim. Everyone knows that the sports program generate big dollars for the school, thus the attitude --Winning is every thing--- Shakespear noted "the good that a man does is often intered with his bones" Let's not do that to Jim and Ellen.
UPDATE: Senate leaders pessimistic on deal to avert fall from ‘fiscal cliff’
