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:
Congress should only get paid on the days they are present. Cut out the perks too.
The seats in congress would get very cold, because they would all be somewhere flip’en burgers.
IN AGREEMENT.
Best idea for our country.
Not just Congress, but the adminstration as well, and no more vacations or aid to countries that hate us and burn our flag or yell “death to America”. Congress and the adminstration must participate in Obamacare. No more special perks for anybody.
True Constitution loving Patriot Politicians would be calling for Grand Jury Indictments, and return to Limited Government and telling the PUBLIC to Jury nullification of all unconstitutional Laws is the cure to our country.
Totally agree!
Absolutely minimum wage and no more than that
Why just until thr budget i s balanced. The people did not give them all this money for doing their jobs, they kept giving themselves a pay raise without asking the people if it was ok. Try that with your boss and see what happens.
GOOD.
