Since Congress (and the Senate) have enjoyed a 23.15% increase in salary since 2000, lets put Congressional Salaries on the table as well.
How about a rollback in Congressional Salaries (now $174,000) back to 2000 levels ($141,300) for a savings of $32,700 per official or $17,494,500.
Then impose a ten year freeze on those salaries to knock $174,945,000 off the budget.
I know it's pocket change overall (to you guys) but lets get real, how many folks in the workforce have seen a 23% increase in their salary in the past ten years?
And what are you producing that merits such an increase?
In addition let's get those Congressional Pensions that are funded at Taxpayer expense after you guys put in 20 years as a Congressperson or Senator on the table for cuts.
There are currently over 400 former members of Congress and the Senate who are getting over $60,000/ per year.........but you want to cut the check of the Senior Citizen getting $600 per month?
Let's cut all taxpayer funding of Congressional pensions first.

This are just some of my humble ideas but think that public servants should look to their own salery and benifits first before stiffing the aged.
