Pay Raises for Congress?

This past year Congress voted themselves a payraise and also refused to vote for a Cost of Living raise to those on Social Security and retired veterans. Shame on those money grubbing bastards! I propose a constitutional admendment

"Congress shall be prohibited from voting themselves a raise in any year that the Budget is not balanced, or there is an existing deficit. Furthermore, Congressional raises will be anchored to Cost of Living raises linked to retired benefits of those on Social Security or on Government Retirees to includse Military Veterans."

Wanna see a balanced Budget? make congress liable for their actions. In fact why not retain Congressional pay in those times where there is no federal budget in place. I don't mean suspend it and give it back to them, when they do. I mean when there is no budget in place, they don't get paid for that time frame. It would be rare to see suspended services when they can't get a budget out in time.
