🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A bipartisan bill was introduced that would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down. The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and…

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Be generous and let them live on the average non-government wage in DC.

@TrentFissure @CalltoActivism Then let them pay for medical care like the rest of us. Politics is about money and power. We can't take the power out of the position but we can take much of the money out. If we had the desire and motivation.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism 😂😂😂Good idea, but it will never happen.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism We do have term limits. They’re called elections.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism They should all live in dormitories when in DC

@fham44 @CalltoActivism It sounds good in theory but thats easier said than done. Now, the term limits im all for it. But would be no congress if the pay changes. A lot of them are maintaining 2 residents (in DC and home state), travel, DC cost of living, etc. No except the rich would sign up for that.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Then no one would run.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Better yet. Minimum wage. Maybe they will fix it then.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Ooooh! That's cruel. That might force them to work for the people who give them their jobs instead of all their donors and lobbyists

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Excellent idea, now make it Bill.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Yeah, but they have to live in DC a good part of the year, which is pretty pricey

@fham44 @CalltoActivism better yet; same as teachers in their district...

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Let's not forget that members of Congress must hold an apartment in DC as well. Having two living spaces, while one is in an expensive city, requires a higher salary.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Hmmm…cool thought. Might motivate them to do some economic work in their districts

@fham44 @CalltoActivism And they don't need to live in DC anymore.

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Love this! Also, take away their special retirement benefits and live off the same SS and Healthcare we live on when we retired and paid for? I bet we would find out how many of them have actually paid into the system like the rest of us are required to!

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Better answer right here !

@fham44 @CalltoActivism 👏🏽

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Brilliant !

@fham44 @CalltoActivism Like it!!!👍🏻
