Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
Mark Twain

How about the president’s salary is limited to 2X the average annual income in the United States.
The Congress salary is limited to 1.5X the average annual income in the United States.
Any deficit spending must be first made up by reducing Congressional expenditures until they reach zero, then the Executive Branch.
All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity.
Mark Twain
