House Republicans: No Budget, No Pay

[quote]"The first step to fixing this problem is to pass a budget that reduces spending. The House has done so and will again. The Democratic Senate has not passed a budget in almost four years, which is unfair to hardworking taxpayers who expect more from their representatives. That ends this year," Cantor said in a statement from the House Republican retreat here on Friday. "We must pay our bills and responsibly budget for our future. Next week, we will authorize a three-month temporary debt limit increase to give the Senate and House time to pass a budget. Furthermore, if the Senate or House fails to pass a budget in that time, members of Congress will not be paid by the American people for failing to do their job. No budget, no pay."[/quote]
For once, a decent PR move by Republicans to improve their image in the eyes of the American people. Probably should have thought of that one sooner.
Your thoughts? Do you think this challenge will work, or do you think we'll end up dancing around the issue until the last minute like we did with the expiring tax cuts just a few weeks ago?

3 RepliesThe republicans don't have to worry about being payed, they are already millionaires.... In a more serious sense, I don't think anyone in senate or congress should ever be payed. I think that their services to this country should be strictly voluntary, and that there really shouldn't be any perks to being a senator or congressmen/woman. I guess that would open doors for them to take mega bribes from corporations and other people with their own agenda though. I guess my idea needs some more work.
