Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.

I mean at the end of the day, isn’t it an economic issue and not a government worker issue? That if the common man could afford goods and medical services at the same time… Realistically, it would be through deflating the economy while keeping the pay rate the same to make it so those who are making the median or just a little above can afford groceries and medical bills at the same time and the federal interest rates being lowered to about 1.5% would make it so that mortgages are affordable.
If we’re going to be saying people should be able to afford the bare minimum, than we need to level the economy for the common man and with that we need to adjust the inflation and federal interest rates. Other wise, we’re just bitching about how much someone in a position of power makes.
