TFP Column: The 10% Solution
This week's effort in the Toledo Free Press is pretty straight forward. We keep getting told by the government that times are tough and we all need to make sacrifices. Well about we go with "The 10% Solution", where every member of Congress takes a 10% pay cut instead of the raise that they just got.
Oh sure, it won't balance the budget; but it would save the government over $9 million per year, as well as show we taxpayers that our elected representatives are willing to share our pain.
Pain is exactly what you'll be feeling if you find out that you missed something going on because you thought you were too busy to catch up on everything that's going on in NW Ohio by reading the Toledo Free Press.
