Even Congress Is Making Cuts, Big Deal!

Congress isn't immune from the budget cuts hitting the rest of the government. USA Today reported that one in 10 House members are making "sizeable cuts" at the office for the second year in a row. The average House member's budget was nearly $1.5 million last year. A 6 percent cut equals the salary of one or two staff members. Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) said last year's cut was "skin deep." More cuts would be "sawing at the bone."
