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:
great idea . politicns need accountability …
Yeah, they gonna cut their own salary..
Why not?? They didn’t earn their money yet!!! I’d say they owe us a hell of a refund!!!!
Or at least tar and feathers
how about no salary until they pay the debt back.
This we should go for.
The GOP is doing this just to get votes. If they knew it would succeed, they would not bring it up. I do not trust the politicians that we have in Washington right now at all..
Sounds like a good one , then cut pensions !
And make the president pay for their vacations.
could not agree more
