                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House that members of the United States 
 House of Representatives should be prohibited from an increase in the 
 rate of pay following a budget deficit in the preceding Congress, and 
should have their rate of pay reduced if the deficit is not effectively 
                   reduced by the preceding Congress.

Whereas the Constitution of the United States grants the legislative branch 
        power to tax and spend;
Whereas all appropriations bills originate in the House of Representatives;
Whereas the skyrocketing budget deficit jeopardizes the current and future 
        standard of living for millions of Americans;
Whereas American taxpayers are losing billions of dollars paying interest on the 
        debt alone;
Whereas those billions of dollars could go to those Americans that truly deserve 
        and need help;
Whereas the budget deficit is ignored by House Members whose fiscal 
        irresponsibility caused the shortfalls;
Whereas House members should receive compensation on a ``pay-per-performance'' 
        basis: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That members of the United States House of 
Representatives should be prohibited from an increase in the rate of 
pay following a budget deficit in the preceding Congress, and should 
have their rate of pay reduced if the deficit is not effectively 
reduced by the preceding Congress.
