I have a suggestion for the super committee:
Advertisements [?]
You people are going to be making some difficult decisions--for us. You, yourselves are not affected.

Therefore, I propose the following, in order to connect you directly with the decisions you are about to make.
What you do affects tens of millions of us that do not have a big salary or pension to fall back on. So......

Anything you cut for the country, you cut for members of Congress tenfold.

Cut Social Security or Medicare 1%, cut it for members of Congress 10%. Cut either for the public
10%, cut Medical Insurance and pension plans for members of Congress 100%. Then, when you say you
feel our pain, we'll be able to believe you.
