March Rave


Yesterday I had March rants.

Today a March rave.

Senators Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri and Bill Nelson a Democrat from Florida are planning to introduce legislation that would require members of Congress to take a pay cut if any federal worker is furloughed because of sequestration.

Senator McCaskill put it this way on her website.

“The federal workforce is looking at furloughs that would result in a sizeable pay cut and there’s absolutely no reason members of Congress should exempt themselves. We can and should reach a balanced compromise to replace these damaging across-the-board cuts, but until we do, this is an obvious step to hold Congress accountable for the job we need to get done.”

Senator Nelson said, “No one should get paid for inaction and Congress clearly hasn’t done the job to avert the sequester.

Did you notice there are no Republican co-sponsors of the bill?
