Senators & Congress want cuts from UAW,what about them?

The Senators and Congress want cuts from the UAW,but isn't the US Government in financial trouble too?So will these Senators and Congressman takes cuts in pay and pension?

The UAW has given concessions and will take over the health care fund which employees have been paying into each week.I'm not opposed to a pay cut within reason but the Senators and Congressman could lead by example.If they would take a 10% cut I would be alright with a 10% cut.

Is this too much to ask of them?

    America is not the government. AMERICA is the people!

    I've been saying this for years. We pay these guys to meet for three months a year and they make more than any four hourly paid employees that voted for them. While in session most of them sleep or play footsies with the guy beside them.

    I think they should get paid only for the hours in session or working on government business and then only what the average hourly pay is. All government employees and elected officials should get at least a 10% cut.

    AMERICA, first and foremost!
