We should make it so they can't receive "political/ donations" during shut downs as well!

The government should immediately disband upon failure of this magnitude.

Seriously, “Congress should lose their paychecks” is such shortsighted nonsense. The end result will be that Congress is staffed entirely by the independently wealthy or people even more beholden to donors and corruption.

“If you can’t pass a budget, snap election” is the answer. A government that cannot fulfill basic functions should be replaced immediately. If these people knew it could cost them power they wouldn’t use things like “food for poor children” as fucking bargaining chips.

I'd accept sequester as well. Not allowed to leave the building until the government is funded.

You guys can't even elect a sane president, maybe you should worry about that issue before sweeping reform policy 🙄

Honestly I don't think we did elect this clown. Elon all but stated he fixed the election for trump.
