Since the U.S. Senate and President Obama seem unwilling to take responsibility (due to political repercussions) for tough fiscal decisions which are requisite to controlling the out of control national debt and would rather play games of chicken and passing the blame back and forth to each other, IMMEDIATE suspension of all salaries, paychecks, and any other compensations for all federal government elected officials should be put into effect until such time as a budget is lawfully PASSED might serve as a reasonable incentive to coax them into doing their jobs. So far as of 11/29/12 it has been 1310 DAYS the US government has been operating without a budget!
The campaign is over. Time to do your jobs and quit with the partisan finger pointing and blame game!!
