Mr. Munson’s letter about shutting down congressional pay when they can’t come together is just a starting point (Our Readers’ Views, Oct. 7). How about Congress’ health care being the exact same as those on Medicaid and Medicare? I would bet lower prescription prices and comprehensive health care would come into existence.
Next let’s link all congressional pay increases with federal hourly wage increases. Since 1990, congressional salaries have almost doubled. The same should be said about hourly wages.
There is always a starting point for improving democracy.
