Every member of that elite group of morons (R&D) should have to go without pay and have to be covered under the Affordable Care Act then watch how quickly things get fixed!

Ami Bera from my district has introduced a bill to congress that lawmakers should not be paid when they can't come up with a budget on time until the problem is remedied.

Also, we must remember that if the opposite of PRO is CON that it stands to reason that the opposite of PROGRESS is CONGRESS...

Just so you all understand, when the government shuts down, and it happens more often than you hear about, the federal employees do not have to show up for work, and when the shut down is solved they all get their full pay. I know this because my better half worked for the federal government for 35 yrs and this is true. So when a congress person suggest that they propose a bill to not pay them, it is pretty ingenuous. This whole thing is pure political BS. One party trying to insert language into the spending bill that has not been approved by the finance committee that should be a stand alone bill, and the other party saying lets approve the spending plan and work on this as a separate bill.

Its you money. see how they spend it.

While I applaud her introducing that bill I'll bet that will go over about as good as one on term limits would?

Well, Hello Jerry. I would really like to know the folks who support the house and Senate????? And understand why either parties' constituents support them... They all are "screwing us. I think we are getting near another REVOLT, as was last seen with the Nixon era. Our government(specifically the politicians), need to be tried for their treasonous behavior. And the public needs to get educated to the fact that BOTH parties are failing us, miserably..... But then "I don't have an opinion on the matter HAH,LOL RJM

Starting on October 1, the start of the new fiscal year for the federal government, if the budget has not been passed no congress person should be paid (and NO backpay). There should NOT be any CR (continual resolution) involved. They only work 3 days a week and take even more days off throughout the year than any other profession.
