The Social Poets: Poll: Americans Want To Cut Congress Pay, Work Longer Hours: From Denny: You can always tell just how bad a job Congress is really doing when the voters want to fire them all, cut out their health care and raid their pension funds. After all, turn about is fair play for it is what Congress and the Obama White House have done to the American worker.

A recent poll from The Hill, which covers Washington politics and lawmaking extensively, reveals some dire predictions for the upcoming 2012 election. No one in Congress or the White House should consider their jobs to be safe. This is an angry electorate.

Since Congress has behaved so badly the past year the public now wants to treat them like a business owner with a bad employee: fire them, scale back their pay, eliminate or reduce their health care benefits and cut out the pension funds.
