Shouldn't the sequester have frozen congressional paychecks?

[Uben]

Yes, it should have! That would ensure these slimey bastards actually did their fucking jobs instead of playing their little games with OUR money!

1. It wouldn't make much difference

most congress persons are wealthy. Witholding pay works better on people who live paycheck to paycheck

[Niceguy1]

2. The senate and

Whitehouse , too. They are all in it together .

[Angry Dragon]

3. The Senate is Congress

[LiberalFighter]

4. The 27th amendment doesn't allow that to happen.

Some focus needs to be on how little work they do and spending so much time away from Congress.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

5. Frozen paychecks. And they should stop cleaning the bathrooms in the Capitol Building (nt)

6. Obviously yes, but do you honestly think they would ever subject themselves to that?

It's fine for the rest of us to get bent over, but what's good for the goose isn't always what's good for the gander. Personally I think that they should all have to find their own private insurance, since that's what the want for the rest of us. But hey, they've got a sweet deal, they know it, and they plan on keeping it.
