Make budget cuts by leveling congress' full-time benefits packages & travel expenses with their part-time hours.

Created by H.S. on January 08, 2013

Regardless of the field of work, the generally accepted full time work week is 40 hours. These hours begin at the physical presence & "clocking-in" at the brick & mortar structure not time in transit to & from it. These politicians are called "public servants" & I submit the comparison that they are "employees" of the public. The "average" employees compensation package is primarily dependant on hours worked, performance, & years of service (tenure). Congress works 38 weeks a year at 3-4 days a week while we pay for their travel expenses & generous life-time benefits. I submit that their poor work performace & part time hours at full time benefits should be reformed to be more comparable to the average american working the same. These should be the 1st gov. spending cuts addressed.
