I wonder why our senators an congressmen don't set an example for the rest of americans by taking a pay cut themselves? Giving up their perks and cutting the senate and congress in half. THEY say, we have to tighten our belts, what about them!

I don't like being compared to any other country. This is the U.S. of A. we are different! We will be like any other country if we don't stop the democrats from giving it away.  Who ever heard of paying s. s. then being taxed on our own money. Who ever heard of giving ILLEGAL aliens our s.s., the democrats!
