All pay for both congress and the administration, including staffers of both, should be stopped & forfeited, due to non performance of their duties as our elected representatives.
If you don't do the work, then you won't be paid.
You were not elected to spend money we don't have, and still expect pay.
You were elected to do what's right for our country and its citizens. Not to act like the ruling class you have become.
Where is the equality of all, when you get paid for accomplishing NOTHING, while 12 million Americans are out of work, out of hope, and out of money?
It is very clear to We The People of America that our Government is broken and won't pass legislation.
Pay would only be restored when effective solutions are enacted into law. That's what you were elected to do.
