For those that don't know it, or have not signed up yet, we get to vote on what cuts are made in government spending. Every time they chose items to vote on, they send an email to you as a reminder and also tell you who voted for the cut and who did not vote for the cut. A decent way to keep track of our reps.
There are 5 choices. Below is one that made me furious. No wonder Tim Geithner didn't pay his taxes. LOL (really not funny)
Require Collection of Unpaid Taxes From Federal Employees
Savings of potentially $1 billion +
In 2008, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reported that over 97,000 federal employees were delinquent on their federal income taxes, owing a total of $1 billion in unpaid taxes. This includes 1,151 employees who owe $7 million at the Department of Treasury which oversees the IRS. By requiring at a minimum that the IRS to work with federal agencies to withhold a portion of each employee's paycheck who is determined to have a "seriously delinquent tax debt," we can ensure that federal employees are paying their fair share of taxes. Failure to pay required taxes should result in disciplinary actions designed to ensure that the taxpayers are made whole. In addition to collecting back taxes already due, this reform will ensure future unpaid taxes are also collected.
