Sacrifices

With the national debt skyrocketing and the S&P changing our outlook to negative both sides of the isle are saying we need to make sacrifices. I agree- we need to lower our national debt. However, the sacrifices the politicians are discussing do not seem to extend to them. So my question to our legislatures is, “Are you willing to take a cut in salary and benefits to help lower the debt?” I realize this would be less than ½ a drop in the bucket, but I think it would show they are serious and it would also show the American public that our elected officials remember that they work for us.
