Limit the Legislative pay raises and Per Diem to a percentage of Military Pay Raises.

Created by M.B. on March 06, 2013

For the next seven years, beginning in Fiscal Year 2014, pay raises for both the House and Senate will be limited to sixty percent (60%) of military pay raises. For example, if the military gets a 1% pay raise in FY2014, Congress will get a 0.006% pay raise. A Senator making $174,000.00 per year would now get $175,044.00 after the example pay raise.
Per Diem rates will concurrently be lowered by the same percentages.
