take a 10% to 15% pay cut, including Congress and the Senate.

With the government arguing over which programs should take a cut, why don't we start by cutting the salaries of the President, Vice President, Congress, and the Senate. Let them put some skin in the game. Most Americans have. Either they lost their job and are still looking for work or they found a new job with less pay and are trying to make ends meet. Having them all take a 10% pay cut would save about $9,384,780 a year. Having them take a 15% pay cut would save about $14,077,170 a year. Yes, this is like spitting in the ocean, when compared to the US debt, but they should start putting the US Taxpayer money where their mouth is.
