According to Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, "Teachers, professors and state and local government workers should take a 5 percent pay cut later this year and remain at that level for the next three years to help save taxpayers money."
It is to be noted that Mr. Bishop is NOT recommending that the pay and benefits of the Senators and members of the House be cut. Sacrifice does not start at home, at least for Mr. Bishop.
Plenty of Republicans on Capital Hill are screaming about the budget deficit, but they have not come forward and proposed reducing their salaries by 50%, for starters. Neither has anyone suggested taxing the big bonuses on Wall Street to pay down the deficit.
