Reduce federal spending and the national debt

Moolenaar says Congress should lead by example in reducing federal spending and the national debt. He points to legislation freezing congressional pay since 2010 and to the requirement that members and staff participate in Affordable Care Act health insurance exchanges as examples of congressional accountability.

Context: The pay freeze and health insurance exchange requirement are described as existing measures, not as new proposals.

In their own words
