I call on the president to push congress to mandate that members of congress who have been on capitol hill since 2007 or earlier to work on a minimum wage of $10 per hour for the next 5 years at the very least. The average American in the private sector makes around 40k a year. Its time that congress impose austerity on themselves. Plus its time to limit congress' special perks including pensions and turning them in to 401Ks, which can save hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Plus the time has come for term limits for all members of congress. 2 terms in the senate and 6 in the house should be the standard.
