I recommend CUTTING their salaries by 20% and their benefits by 75% to simply bring them in line with the public. Freezing their salaries at their present levels is a joke!

Politicians (Senators and Congressmen) are government employees and from jobs and careers (like I said most cases) that pay more than their government salaries so yes I think they may be the few, Supreme Court Justices (maybe not the teacher) also fit that bill.
