We the people believe since our country was conceived with a Goverment'", by the people and for the people" and NOT ABOVE the people,and that we are all in this together,there needs to be a CUT IN SPENDING.The President should agree to a pay cut and any raises voted on by the Senate and the Congress for themselves,while we are in a recession, should be repealed.The fact that the Congress and the Senate vote for their own raise is inane.In the future,ALL raises for the Congress and the Senate should be put on the ballot and be voted on BY THE PEOPLE.
