Tell GOP REP. Jason Smith to keep his salary. If he wants to feel the pain of those furloughed, he should refuse to pay his mortgage, no car note, just default on all his bills. Then when he comes to his senses just pay those late fees. He should cease all non-essential spending like buying food refuse all medical care. I will then commend him for not making this laughable gesture.
there is only one remedy for refusing the democratic process......RE-CALL!......
My only question to GOP leaders and their house speaker is why don't you bring cutting All congress senators pay until a resolution is reached. Why is this not bought on the house floor. Why should u guys get paid for putting American people's lives at risk. Don't just say it, do it.
I encourage all Americans that on the next elections for congress and senate is to vote them all out of office. quit paying taxes till they get it right for the people.;
