Enough is Enough! The shutdown needs to end NOW!!

It almost doesn't matter who's at fault anymore. People are on the verge of missing their second check. People are having to sell belongings, cars, homes, etc. They can't even afford the basic necessities such as food and Lord knows what else.

[big]The real outrage is that the members of Congress are still receiving pay.[/big]

Why are the lawmakers getting paid but the rest of the federal government isn't?

Let the lawmakers feel the pinch too and then we'll see how quickly this is resolved. In the meantime, not one lawmaker should be paid or allowed to cash any check from the federal government or supporters.

As I understand it, all federal employees are not receiving paychecks. Why doesn't this apply to lawmakers too?

@Kenscoff Is there a reason why they should when the rest of the government isn't?
