Cut the salary of Congress by 10% across the board and end Presidential vacations until the budget balances

Created by E.G. on March 17, 2013

During his time in office, Obama and his family has spent more than $10 MILLION in vacations, including a recent trip to Hawaii. 17 vacations in less than 5 years. The average family takes only 1-2 vacations a year. Obama is averaging nearly 4 per year. WHY DO OUR TAX DOLLARS HAVE TO FUND YOUR VACATIONS WHEN YOU CAN'T BALANCE THE BUDGET?!

Additionally, Congress has been getting guaranteed pay raises every year while budget cuts have ended such programs as Military breakfast, tuition reimbursement, and funding for our roads and our schools. 10% will not greatly effect any one person, but it will assist these important programs, and help fund MANY more.
