30 million Americans are out of work and living hand to mouth, while the Ice Cream Queen continues to collect her $220,000 plus annual salary for holding up relief bills to stuff them full of graft for her favorite pets. How about she and her colleagues emulate President Trump and donate their paychecks to the People for the duration of this shutdown farce? Put their money where their mouths are.
Not holding my breath.
Because they can. They’re so vital, don’tcha know.
Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein can take Donald J. Trumps example and just forego their salary. It would show her ‘christian values’, that she isn’t doing this just for the money.
Not only that but they gave themselves a RAISE in the first stimulus bill! I really want to pinch their heads off!
Seriously!
Same goes for the governors extending their clampdowns. Why should they keep getting paid when none of their constituents is? Share the pain!
It’s in the K-Y clause of the Constitution.
Why? Because shut up citizen.
congress doesn’t work by the hour
The premise is stupid personified
It’s not like she doesn’t get enough in bribery, theft, and fake jobs for her family. Why would she miss a mere 220K.
Because they know that nothing will happen to them...
LOL
Aren’t all state and federal government workers still getting paid? They are above the devastation.
Give each Congress member $1200 and say they have to live on that for 2 months. That should get things opened toot suite!
The Constitution says their pay cannot be altered until after the next election. Of course they would have to vote to lower their pay, so there’s that as well.
At least the questions becoming more public, even if their pay cannot be changed...shame them...and governor’s too
Be serious.
They need to be frog marched right outta there with no pay .
My governor is too busy raising the money to run for the U.S. Senate, where even a very stupid man like him can’t help but come home RICH.
Piece of garbage. Vowed to seize ass-halt weapons in his moronic run for U.S. president. Dolt.
