Cut congressional salary.

While Congress cuts funding for education, NASA, and social security, they make $175,000 a year.
Minimum Federal wage is $13,624/ year, to be nice let us use the proposed $9/ hour, or $18,000 a year. (If the $9 / hour does not pass, use the $7.25/ hour).
Minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum a person can sustain life, if we are to believe our politicians have our best interests in mind, they should live like most of the people- on minimum wage.
