Some common sense advice from Buzzflash that I don't see happening

MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT
BuzzFlash has suggested before that savings begin at home - and if that's the case, why doesn't Congress cut its pay, raise its portion of health care insurance premiums, cut back its staffs and traveling expenses and shave down its cushy retirement packages?
This is common sense. The euphemism of "shared sacrifice" has been circulating around the media. Of course, a Master of the Universe on Wall Street staying at a $2,000-a-night exclusive hotel suite in Paris instead of a $3,000 suite - well, that's not equal to the "shared sacrifice" of a senior citizen having to cut back to two meals a day due to Social Security reductions. That is what is called a false equivalency.
