CONGRESSIONAL PAY CUT?

YES THERE WAS A BILL IN MARCH, INTRODUCED BY REP. ANN KIRKPATRICK OF ARIZONA TO CUT THE 174,000 DOLLAR ANNUAL PAY OF SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN BY FIVE PERCENT, BEGINNING JAN. 1, 2011.

THIS IS THE FIRST PAY CUT SINCE APRIL 1, 1933.  ONE VERSION WOULD INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL PAY CUT FOR EVERY YEAR THE GOVERNMENT RUNS A DEFICIT.  THIS IS THE KIND OF INCENTIVE NEEDED TO RETURN THE NATION TO FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

THOUGH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE SIGNED ON TO THE BILL, IT HAS NOT HAD FURTHER ACTION.  REP. KIRKPATRICK, HERSELF IS PUTTING HER MONEY WHERE HER MOUTH IS.  SHE IS WRITING MONTHLY CHECKS, RETURNING FIVE PERCENT OF HER PAY.

DO YOU THINK HER BILL WILL PASS?
