54 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS A YEAR

this has been pissing me off for a long time so tonight i decided to use my ancient portable computer machine to save the government 54 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (and yes I am sure I am not the first person to run these numbers) Drop congressional and presidential and VP salaries from 174K and above to 100K each (hey they still have to eat) Charge members of the house and senate who live in their damn office $1000.00 a month rent, up the gym membership from $20.00 to $1020.00 a month and for ex members $5000.00 a month (hey K street will pay it for the access) Ex Presidents? NO PENSION FOR YOU YOU ARE ALREADY RICH (and for the exes this figure does not include staff salaries etc etc) Since I am bad with "teh google" this doesn't count what we pay for their health care. Lets let them pay for their own damn insurance 54 million. A lot of money. Pell grants anyone? Or how about repaying Social Security? Or a whole lot of other uses for "our" money we give these
