Propose that federal law is written requiring the U.S. Congress to pass a balanced budget each year (a Continuing Resolution does not count). If Congress is unable to pass a "balanced budget" then NO member of Congress, nor their staff, receive compensation until a balanced budget is passed by both the House and Senate with Presidential approval.
Millions of Americans must balance their household budgets; therefore, we expect the same from our elected leaders.
It's time for our 535 elected leaders to do what they were elected to do!
