I would prefer a constitutional amendment docking legislators' perks and cutting their pay 10% a day until the pay reaches the minimum wage or spending is cut. Human nature being what it is, politicians will sooner cut spending than see their pay eliminated. It would serve to concentrate their minds on the job at hand.

The way is is suppose to work and did for one year only was all staffers and politicians stopped getting paid and offices closed until a budget was done.

Happened once, then they figured out how much they hated that and now just pass spending bills to pay themselves/staff while they don’t do their jobs.

Never let it be said that what citizens want, politicians will figure a way to get around it and not get it done and, blame the citizens.
