propose legislation that halts pay for Congress and the Executive branch should the USA default on debt obligations.

Congressional members make about $175,000, paid for by the taxpayers. The President makes $450,000 a year, also paid for by the taxpayers. Yet, apparently, Congress and the President cannot come to agreements on some of the most basic requirements of their jobs. When we ordinary Americans fail to do the job that we are hired to do, we get fired, or have our pay reduced. Since Congressmen and the President can't be reprimanded so easily, they should have the dignity and integrity to weigh judgement upon themselves until they begin to perform better at the jobs that they were hired to do...starting with a pay freeze for both the Legislative branch and the Executive branch of the U.S. government should their refusal to compromise cause a default on the debt of the country.
