Yes, that's a GOP idea, and Obama came out with it himself yesterday, angering the GOP.

BTW, Senators and Congressmen make $174,000 per year (excluding bennies), and they froze their salaries earlier this year.

Because it's like spending $10 per gallon of gas and expected to be pleased when you're told it's going to stay at $10 and not go any higher.

The GOP sucks for the idea as much as Obama does for announcing it. See I don't goose step to the GOP like you do for DEMS.

As far as Congressmen and Senators go, they are among the few government employees who are underpaid compared to the private sector as I'm fairly sure a good number of them (minus the obvious ie Waters, Rangel, Frank) would and could make double their current salaries.
