The American public is tired of the lies coming from Congress and cynical about their ability to lead the nation and whether they truly represent the people. Occasionally, a congressman will come along and inspire the nation with an idea or a proposal that resonates and suggests that our representatives actually do care about our well being.
Iowa Republican Representative Rod Blum introduced legislation Friday that seems to be that type of proposal, though there are many who will feel it is just for show and will never come to an actual vote. Nevertheless, it is worth considering and following, because it could set a standard for future debate in coming years.
See Rep. Rod Blum’s proposed legislation on page 2:
this is a GREAT idea!
hit their pensions and medical care as well….
That is what I am talking about…ABOUT TIME!!!
If it does come up for a vote it won’t get enough votes to become law.I’m sure they are not going to pass a law to cut their salaries.
Something that the Democrats should be able to agree on.
LETS DO IT .
it’s always awesome when a poor member of Congress calls for a halt in pay …. wait, what? Blum is richer than all but 39 members of Congress? and he wants to cut the deficit while at the same time calling for a massive increase in defense contractor spending for stuff the Pentagon says it doesn’t want or need?
LOVE IT, BUT DON’T SDEE IT HAPPENING.
