Stop Pay Raises for Congress or the President Until the Deficit Is Zero. Edwards will eliminate the provision of law that allows congressional pay to rise automatically, and he will block pay raises for Congress or the president until the deficit is zero. Edwards has consistently voted against congressional pay raises.
Ban Bonuses to Political Appointees. After overturning President Clinton's ban on bonuses for political appointees, the Bush Administration doled out more than $1.4 million in cash awards to favored political appointees last year. While Bush has tried to contract out every government job imaginable, he has given 20 percent of eligible political appointees bonuses averaging $3,000 each. Edwards will reinstate the bonus ban.
