Cut 9% from salaries of congress until a compromise can be reached to avoid the sequester spending cuts.

Created by C.C. on March 13, 2013

The spending cuts linked to the sequester cut 9% across the board from all non-discretionary spending. This does little to fix the budget deficit and cuts funds from programs that actually contribute to the economy such as education. Linking the 9% across the board spending cuts to the salaries of senators and congressmen will provide them with common ground and motivation to compromise.
