We are constantly reminded of our governments gross neglect of our debt, and deficit spending. In order to help reduce the deficit our senators and representatives should take a pay cut. Leaders in the senate and house make approximately $193,000, and the speaker of the house makes $223,000 a year. Members of the House and senate not in leadership make $174,000 a year, and all members also receive benefits. On top of all this they get the ability to vote for their own raises. Members of congress are part time workers and many of them have other jobs. 174,00 a year is to much they should take a pay cut to $60,000 a year and can only be adjusted due to inflation or by a vote from their constituents. With 535 members that is 58 million dollars a year saved
