A good place to start.

Now that axing the Federal budget seems to be the order of the day, I have a few suggestions. Get rid of the rule that members of Congress get automatic pay raises unless they vote them down. Congressional retirement is age 50 if over 25 years of service and 62 if over 5 years. Get rid of that and put them on SS and Medicare same as everybody else. I am sure as the new Tea Party congressmen are now in orientation this is fresh on their minds and they should now be deciding the best place, the only fair place to start cutting the Federal Budget is themselves. I won't hold my breath.
