We need a Constitutional amendment requiring Congress to have a budget in place before they or their staffers can be paid. It should also give the President a line item veto with regards to the budget.
Add the caveat that wages not paid due to lack of budget cannot be paid retroactively. In other words, the bozos on Capitol Hill and their minions have, so far, forfeited 2 weeks worth of their 2019 salary.
I'm sure that Occasionally Coherent would love that, given her whining last month about finding a place to live in DC.
