Might be BS but its still real money and a start.
100 Senators and 435 Representatives might be nice if they did the same or at least got to work.

A 5 percent cut from the president's salary of $400,000 per year amounts to $1,667 per month. The move will be retroactive to March 1 — the day the cuts started to kick in — and will remain in effect for the rest of fiscal 2013

As CinC I think he should have shared the pain on the same level as DOD!!!
The 5 percent that he will hand back mirrors the 5 percent cut that domestic agencies took when the reductions went into effect. The Pentagon's budget took an 8 percent hit.

Great! I'll take it. I'm paying out of state tuition and the VA is behind on the benefits I transferred to BCMU.

I double their pay if they promised to never show up for work.

Wait a minute - that makes too much sense. Why didn't you suggest this five years ago? Hell - we could have saved approximately a trillion dollars a year.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

How about 20% like DoD employees are facing?

Congress, put 'em on LWOP (all of 'em) for repeated failure to meet a core objective for which they were hired.
