To fine each members of congress $200,000 a month until they balance the budget the fine to go towards the deficit.

Created by R.G. on January 20, 2013

The purpose of this petition is succinctly portrayed within the title. The main reasoning for the petition is to get congress to realize that they are not meant to be in control but rather are controlled by the individuals which they are meant to represent and serve. The fine would act as a costly incentive which would make them agree upon a method that would balance the budget in the most efficient manner. As they would be paying it off at a rate of $107,000,000 a month until they reach a balanced budget.
