Congress (an multiple presidents) has created our debt problem by many unfunded wars, pork projects, and general inefficiency in fed spending. We have a debt almost unpayable at its current level and our currency will lose all value if we continue to print money as fast as we do now. This is common sense that any private business would enact: do not reward those with good pay that run a huge annual deficit. Congress needs to feel the pain that individuals do because of their actions (inflation, job loss, lack of business credit or lending). At such time that they balance the annual federal budget, their full salary would be restored. Being that they just gave themselves ANOTHER raise, they should put the money where the values supposedly are.
