Not really a bad idea, but I would go further, will 0bama cut his vacations and his wife's vacations on the taxpayer dime?

8. Hilarious
sacrifice is for the "little people", None of those ****ers would ever sacrifice so much as a nasty, dirty, fungus filled toenail.
Just what are you sacrificing anyway? You still will get your govt check.

9. Or atleast temporarily bring their salaries down to 2001 levels.
They pretty much DOUBLED their salaries a few years ago!
I'm sure the democrats will jump on that suggestion right away. :rotf:

Shared sacrifice for a regressive means they get $! trillion dollars to borrow and burn but only an average of $100 billion a year in cuts and only $20 billion fiscal 2012. That is .022 cut for incurring a trillion dollar future tax increase.
SHARED SACRIFICE = SHUT UP AND GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!

I agree!
Let's do away with those "easy" welfare checks being sent out and let's not be paying for all the illegals to get their free health care in America. I'm all for it!
