PO1 Tony Holland, any of our leaders (Congressmen/women, senators, POTUS, janitor for the Whitehorse, librarian, etc.) who would threaten a Government shutdown that does not affect themselves needs to be voted out and have people that can get along voted in. I’m tired of politicians living like kings while the petty lowly working class suffer. Our politicians are supposed to serve us!
Can we the people establish, vote for and pass legislation that says a Government shutdown means they lose pay before any Governmental department loses pay?
Serious question.

Unfortunately, without a Constitutional Amendment, no. The Constitution mandates that Congress be paid regardless of whether the government is operational or not.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, thanks for the info, I guess they already thought of that. Still, can’t a boy have dreams?!? LOL.
Seriously though, thank you for the info brother. If we ain’t learning we ain't growing!

SGT Michael Thorin - Any time! Many times when this happens, the Congressmen will voluntarily donate their salaries to a charity of some kind, but they still get paid.

I would love to see that list Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS. It would be nice to know which ones Carr enough to contribute.
Either way, it is nice to know that at least we still have some integrity in Congress.

Add freezing federal worker pay and his cabinet members are getting a pay raise thanks to rules for federal pay are different for them and you have to wonder how long before Americans on both sides of political lines are tired of this DC elitist bullshit.

MAJ James Woods
SFC Bernard Walko Yes most involved until any indictments are formally published is indeed the same as slightly pregnant until the test results come back positive. Just keeping in line with your nonsense analogy.

MAJ James Woods
SFC Bernard Walko The only lives ruined the last two years are those that had grand jury indictments and guilty pleas officially filed. In otherwords, the justice system doing it’s job against folks acused of committing a felony is working. How is this nonsense?
What’s nonsense is years of fabricating crimes and accusations and publishing such accusations without evidence on partisan media sites for years for the intended purpose of political smearing. Note the likes of select Congressional Republicans admitting the Benghazi investigations and SCOTUS Garland nomination blocking were deliberate political smear campaigns to obstruct and divide the country.
A Special Investigation expositing actual corruption isn’t nonsense just cause you don’t like the outcomes.

I give it until the flu outbreak hits the Dulles, Reagan, and BWI TSA screeners on a Friday. Right before the Congressional weekend exodus starts.
