Cut salaries from Congressmen and Senators

[luvthablues]

To cut spending how about starting by cutting the salaries and expense accounts for these politicians!

[Miconsgroup]

Let them first make rules for cutting their salaries.

[kichigan]

Cut their salaries in half. If they are serious on government spending.

[Michael_Dominik]

A "concession" to allow sufficient time to read bills before voting on them - tells you all you need to know...

[isaacespapa]

Round and round we go...so much money to be made in government...this evil started when the stock market began

[lindadouglass]

Well, the Senators who want to be reelected perhaps should stop and think about why they are voting against the people who voted for them. Also, term limits must happen.
3 terms for the Senate and 3 terms for the House. Age limits also. We need to be diligent when it comes to deals made and call them out.

We don't have a debt ceiling, everytime we get to it we raise the debt ceiling...which means there is no ceiling.

Karma is coming for your McCarthy! 😂😂😂😂😂 big time fail

[jas]

WHY will you not just state what the RULES they passed Were ??? What I can find mentions all the Rules did was to CHANGE the Rules back to what NANCY PELOSI CHANGED for HER Benefit ??? Show them or concede that is what happened…

[TeresaSierpina]

Stop sending money to Ukraine and other countries. Take care of America first!

[daveking]

The government "must" be funded? Only the military

[rhondaunger]

Maybe Matt Gates will oust Kevin McCarthy

[JRich-yzhe]

cutting IRS funding is the worst idea ever.

[eddienelson]

The traitors are in charge of the house.

[davidschneider]

Republicans should push ahead on sun setting SocialSecurity and Medicaire. Retirees will be so relieved that they are free from government dependence that they will reward the party with a red tsunami.

[ETrevizu]

Single vote does not seem wise IMO and McCarthy is not my favorite

[johnschuh]

The rule regarding the Speaker goes back to Thomas’ Jefferson’s time, and Henry Clay, the first powerful speaker managed to thrive under it. It just requires the right management style.

[michaelmcdonald]

If the GOP wants to be successful the first move is to get AMERICAN oil flowing. Drive down inflation with cheaper energy and the rest will be easy. The public will support anything when their financial situation is back like PRESIDENT TRUMP'S policies did!

[lss]

Wow. Everything else he does take at least 15 votes
