Until The Economy Sweetens, May I Suggest Some Creative Cuts?

My proposal: A pay cut for both federal and state politicians.

Citizens are facing tax hikes despite the fact the unemployment rate is 9.2%.  To worsen matters, many of the jobless who were already collecting unemployment have run out of benefits, leading them from the unemployment line to the welfare line.
This is to be a time of sacrifice and I fully believe our government should share the burden of the American people.

Let’s cut benefits for state and federal politicians.  The American people can barely provide their own insurance.  It seems highly inappropriate for citizens to continue to pay towards the benefits of others.  Many politicians receive pensions and job perks unheard of in the private sector for part time employees. And their wages are more than most middle income families. Car and phone allowances should be completely out of the question.
One thing we should not cut is Planned Parenthood.  Regardless of how you feel on the issue, from a purely business standpoint, this service keeps our population of unplanned pregnancies down and ultimately eases the burden on our welfare system.

The prestige of being one of our nation’s leaders should make up for the discrepancies in pay.

  5. Pay cut of the politicians may generate some funds for creating the jobs. By reducing the financial package a small of money will be saved & the amount is far below to meet the unemployment challenge of America.In addition to this America should cut the expenditure on defense. That can be reduced if America do not interfere in the internal politics of the foreign nations & withdraw the military from other countries.

  7. I believe Parenthood is something related to an individual and his family. And this is not the best choice and I'm either sure what would be the best option that help our welfare. Anyways its better we make some restrictions to the expenses such as partying and all.
    I appreciate this topic and believe have more to discuss on this.
