When you consider that most of those in Congress who create the most problems with the budget are, by ordinary American standards, quite wealthy, any proposal to cut their salaries on non-performance of their job is ludicrous, and certain to be ignored.

The only way to ever solve the problems of the Imperial Congress is to pass three constitutional amendments:

a. Term-limit all members of Congress;

b. Require that every budget be balanced; and

c. Give the President line-item veto powers.

d. In any year, the federal budget cannot grow at a rate greater than the economy.
