In any job, a certain level of performance is expected. When that level of performance is not met, it is not unheard of for an employer to require recompense from an employee in lieu of termination. Both the house and Senate have utterly failed to address a pending fiscal crisis, preferring instead to engage in political brinksmanship and partisan bickering, to the detriment of the American People. If they are truly servants of the public good, they will accept this as a consequence of their failure to do an acceptable job. If not, then those who put personal gain ahead of the public good are more than welcome to resign so we might elect people of a higher quality to replace them.
