Have Congress take a 50% pay cut until the Nation Debt is below $5 trillion and the US economy operates at a profit.

Congressional member get paid $174,000 per year. I propose cutting that salary in half in order to help end bitter partisanship in Congress and persuade them to take steps to end the fiscal incompetence we have seen for so long. Having such a massive debt puts us all at a risk when we lack funding to invest in infrastructure, military defense, guard against cyber attacks and owe trillions to China. It's irresponsible and this solution may get the attention of Congress members by hitting them in their own personal bank accounts. If you're tired of Congress kicking the fiscal can down the line and watching our national debt soar with no end in sight that we may operate our nation profitably and begin putting money back into our treasury instead of using a blank check, please sign. Thank you.
