    No pay for congress until they pass a budget!

    Now this is something I think we can all get behind! Call, email, or write your congressman!

    Third paragraph: The House will also seek to prevent members of Congress from being paid if the two chambers do not pass a budget resolution.

    Now if we could just force them to participate in Social Security & Obama Care. Why should they give a damn about the pounding we're taking? They opted-out for better-funded, better-run programs...years ago.

    Where have you been? That is not a norm by any means, unfortunately.
    Been calling it like I see it since 1988 and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

    They should be paying us in the first place.

    Whenever an assertion is prefaced with "I think we can all agree", or something similar, something ludicrous generally follows. What if they pass a twenty trillion dollar budget, just so they get paid?

    Unfortunately the current President seems to adhere to the "Don't do your job? I'll increase your pay via executive order!" philosophy.
