BREAKING! The Senate just unanimously passed are solution that with hold spay checks from lawmakers during gov. shut downs! NO WORK, NO PAY!
For years, members of Congress have happily collected their full salaries and benefits while failing to pass budgets, playing political games, and shutting down the government.
Meanwhile, federal workers and everyday Americans suffer the consequences. This commonsense measure ensures that politicians finally feel the same pressure they put on the rest of the country when they can’t do their basic jobs.
It’s long past time for accountability in Washington. If
Lawmakers can’t reach agreements and keep the government running, they shouldn’t get paid either. This is a small but important step toward forcing Congress to act like responsible adults instead of privileged elites.
No Work, No Pay should become permanent law. Americans are tired of funding dysfunction. This is the kind of reform voters have been demanding.
