Put Congress on hourly minimum wage

The Issue

While Congress has been cutting the budget to bare bones, they have neglected to consider their own salaries. Many in the US are struggling to survive on minimum wage and it has become clear that Congress is incapable of understanding those struggles until they personally experience it for themselves. Congress must be put on an hourly minimum wage for the sake of the country.
