Yes, the wages of Congressmen and Senators was frozen a year ago, first Lady's staff this year, all staff except military this year.

John Boehner (incoming House Speaker) has aready announced his first vote will be to freeze Congressmen's office budgets. Whoopee But I guess he gets credit for trying.

"Well, how about we start with cutting Congress? I'm going to cut my budget, my leadership budget five percent. I'm going to cut all the leadership budgets by five percent. I'm going to cut every committee's budget by five percent," Boehner told Lesley Stahl of CBS News's "60 Minutes." "And every member is going to see a five percent reduction in their allowance. All together that's $25-$30 million and it likely would be one of the first votes we cast."
