Federal Judges, politicians, U.S. attorneys, and U.S. ambassadors and Embassy staff should be forced to take a 15%-30% pay cut and the extra money be used to pay military personal more, and give military and first responders better pensions, and survivor's benefits for their families.
After all, who deserves OUR tax dollars more, the politician on Capital Hill, or the widow of a U.S. Marine and her 3 children?
