Tie congressional raises to a balanced budget.

[Charlie Benedict]

Cost Of Living Raises (for people on Social Security) are tied to how the economy is functioning - therefore - instead of having automatic raises for congress, why not tie their raises to the passage of a balanced budget every year? And shouldn't those raises also be tied to how the economy is doing?
NO balanced budget - NO raise!
If you're not in Congress - then you might be a second class citizen!
