Deficit Reduction Cuts start with Congress!
A raise will give Congressmen $174,900 annual salary, over 4 times the national median. Reduce their salary by 50%, at $87,500/annually. Align it with the people's median salary.
Replace their gold health plan with that of the peple's plan, Obamacare.
Limit their expense reimbursements to $10,000/year. Staffing, food, lodging, entertainment, meetings, travel, etc. They can seek reimbursement from their voting district as needed.
Replace current (100% of pay) pensions with self-funded 401(k) plans, with 6% match after deficit is over. Align this with most plans of the people. Many people have lost theirs, or don't have one.
