Would This Be Enough?

 Sen. Rick Scott DEMANDS Congress Pass His Bill to SUSPEND Lawmakers’ Paychecks During Government Shutdown

This senator is absolutely correct.

Why in the blue 7 hells should congress be paid to fuck america in the ass?

My opinion is that this shutdown will go thru christmas. I think the democrats are so deeply entrenched that they cannot let this go.

I believe this is the hill they will die on. 

But will republicans be willing? I think the repubs, holding tough as they are right now, are going to cave if the shutdown gets to christmas, or maybe thanksgiving.

I don't have any confidence in them at all.

And I don't think withholding paychecks is enough. When a situation like this comes up, we need a clause in the constitution that says not one of the congress critters and not one of the senators can go up for re-election.

And everyone of the staff members of their offices will be terminated and new ones hired. The old ones cannot be re-hired.

This shutdown may be good in some respects. The longer this goes on hopefully the public will see we don't need the fed .gov as much as they think we do.

Unfortunately only time will reveal that.
