Rescind the decision to give federal employees and Congress pay raises in2013 when the rest of the country is in crisis.

It's 12/30/12, And America is poised on the edge of a fiscal cliff. Yet Congress and the president have seen fit to approve themselves raises? This is blatantly unjust. Our government is already top heavy and inefficient to the point of absurdity. It is a disgrace for our government to vote themselves a raise, while so many in America are struggling with basic issues such as trying to put food on the table, house their children, and pay their medical bills. NO RAISES until Congress can prove that they are capable of putting aside personal and party disagreements in order to work for the good of the country, and not just their own benefit.
