How about a Congressional takeover bill?

Barney Frank is now imposing legislation to cap all pay of companies receiving government funds. I say OK - Congress pay is supported exclusively through our tax dollars and I say we limit their pay to the following scale:

House Members Pay scale:

First 2 year term of House members: $125,000 per year
Second term of House member: $62,500 per year
Third Term and beyond: $1.00 per year

Senate Members pay scale:
First 6 year term of Senate Members: $125,000
Second term and beyond of Senate Members: $1.00

No retirement pay.
Healthcare only during their term.

Effective January 1st 2010 all government funded House and Senate members will be paid according to the above scale.

What say you?
