The cuts and furloughs that the nation is facing are the result of what our members of congress agree to. These individuals are in office because they were elected by the citizens. Congress shows no sense of urgency with trying to resolve the budget crisis, they also are exempt from their salaries being reduced. These people are in office to do what's best for the citizens that put them in office. If their answer to their lack of spending control is to punish the working class families then they are simply not doing their job. I'd like to see all members of congress have their pay completely suspended until a realistic resolution is found. If we have to suffer then there's no reason they shouldn't too, after all they are the reason we are suffering.
