[QUOTE="Dr_Mitch, post: 1428044, member: 7417"] Time to blow of a bit of steam: I feel the time is right to cut the salary of government employees down to match the average American's income, and maybe tie the two together. As well as doing the same for Congressional representatives. Cutting out the Congress' free healthcare is also required, and all other benefits that aren't common to the average American. Except for a travel and living allowance, since they do indeed need to work in two places that are typically very far apart. These people should be [B][B]REPRESENTING[/B][/B], not taking us for a ride WHILE TELLING US WHAT WE CAN DO. Power is actually NOT the goal of a government or its employees, but SERVICE TO CITIZENS is. In pure economical terms, a Congressional employee does not produce any profit, and is a total loss. I think this should be stated at the tops of ballots: "Your congressperson is a total economic loss. Vote well." And what's with these people running their numbers during the campaign? If you spent your time working on 1,200 new laws and regulations, I sure hope they replaced 12,000 or more outdated and obsolete ones. And that these new laws eliminated some waste, and maybe generated some profit, maybe even via one of the government corporations that are left solvent. And I don't want to see $15 billion spent on another aircraft carrier until an existing one is worn out. It's time for an efficient business model to apply to the government, with certain exceptions. Let the good times roll. [/QUOTE]
