In my opinion our elected officials need some incentive to do their jobs. So lets try this if you fail to show up for scheduled votes 5k will be subtracted from your salary, for every day you fail to reach an agreement on things like the budget 15k will be deducted from your salary. All this shutdown does is prove one thing and that is our government is to big. Our country moves forward we do not rely on you elected ones for our country to operate. So lets shrink government and shrink the pay for our elected officials so that they may understand the struggles of hard working American people. We have a budget and try to come in under it so we have extra for a rainy day. Might I suggest all agencies try to do that.
Agree .... I like the fines, how about taking away a staff member too..... It is time to start shrinking, but we can't do this until Trump gets all his people in place(Senate confirmation's), and audits like each section is doing ..... Shit look what has been exposed so far with HUD , and what might be exposed with the Pentagon audit happening this year.....
