We keep hearing about the cuts the govt. will make to SS and Medicare...
but has there been any indication that Congress will cut their salaries and/or retirement by, say...10% as an indication of how serious our debt is?
We hear about across the board cuts. Does that include Congress and their perks...limos, health/life ins., travel expenses, vacation pay (which seems to be the entire year) and office staff?
Aren't they part of that "board" they wish to cut across?
