Editor,
With the sequestration about to hit America, the people who we elected to sit on Capitol Hill should share in the pain they are about to cause millions of Americans. With Congressional office budgets of about $574 million annually, there is a bit of saving to be gained just from them. If you add in their salaries and benefits, the cost climbs to an estimated $6 billion a year. It seems to me that the American people are not getting a very good return on our investment there. There should be a 20 percent meat axe chop straight off the top of the money that we, The American people, pay out to the few who sit up there.
