Zitat des Tages von Ann Kirkpatrick:
In 2010, I proposed that Congress take its first pay cut in 77 years, and my effort had bipartisan support. And as part of leading by example, I returned 5 percent of my paycheck every month to pay down the debt.
I grew up in rural Arizona. My dad ran a general store.
Yes, I introduced the congressional pay cut bill, cutting our salaries by five percent. And I think we have to lead by example.
When millions of Americans are tightening their belts, folks have the right to expect their elected officials to do the same.
I have always been an independent voice for the folks in my district.
I believe the private sector and small businesses drive our economy, and that means the federal government should work to ensure the private sector is as robust as possible.
