reduce the pay of Congress by 20% if they do not avert Sequestration and federal workers are furloughed one day a week.

Created by S.G. on February 11, 2013

The impending fiscal cliff/sequestration might result in all federal workers being furloughed up to one day a week from 1 April - 30 September. Since the federal civilian workforce had nothing to do Congress' inability to balance and approve a sustainable budget, Congress should also receive a pay cut of 20% which is equal to the loss of one day's pay a week.
