A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Likely Voters nationwide want Congress to cut its own pay until the federal budget is balanced.
Only 16% disagree with that approach and nine percent (9%) are not sure.
Not surprisingly, there is a huge gap between Mainstream voters and the Political Class on this topic. Eighty-five percent (85%) of those in the Mainstream want Congress to cut its own pay while 74% of those in the Political Class do not.
In these hard economic times, pay cuts for our rulers... excuse me, I mean our lawmakers... well, that seems reasonable.
Do you agree?
I think you are being a bit unfair if you dock their pay. It'd just invite more bribes. But I would make a strong suggestion there...no overseas travel, unless it's to visit the GIs. These idiots who are visiting London or Brazil on the government's credit card...need to forget about these trips and get busy with America.
