cant wait to see what other brainiac ideas he has for getting the deficit under control

too little too late in my opinion...
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

cutting 10% of the work force seems pretty stupid. Then we will have more people out of work looking for jobs. Pay freeze is nothing new, just ask everyone where I work.

The parallels to what happened in Zimbabwe are growing all the time...

The bankers rubbed their palms together, and the economy went up in flames.

If they want to be symbolic, why not refuse their own salaries?

I don't think Obama needs the $200k when he made millions off of his book.

Maybe they should all take the $1/year pledge until they get the deficit under control.
