  I think I found a place to start in making cuts to the bloated federal budget:
 
     Salary of retired US Presidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE   [/size]Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,00[/size]0[/size] FOR LIFE   [/size]Salary of Speaker of the House ............[/size].[/size]$223,500 FOR LIFE   [/size]Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ......[/size]. [/size]$193,400 FOR LIFE   [/size]Average Salary of a teacher ................ [/size][/size]$40,065   [/size]Average Salary of Soldier [/size]DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN[/size]……………….. [/size] $38,000   [/size]I think we found where the cuts should be made! [/size] [/size]    ....What do you think ? [/size]

Agree 100%. And to cut a little more, ALL of the Washington crowd should have to furnish their own insurance after leaving office. They aren't anymore special than a regular citizen and shouldn't recieve free health care for life.

I'm sure you noticed that the President and Congress exempted themselves from the health care reform law.

All political offices should have a two term limit and no lifetime retirement benefits. You serve in the house for two terms you are done with the house. You can serve in the sentae for two terms then you are done. When you put in forty years as a politician and not a public servant there is an issue. Politicians need to be reminded they are public servants and not public masters.
