This is probably specifically designed to impact only those senators that aren't in it for the money. Both of them.
So, independently wealthy lawmakers have more leverage over the rest…great.
That was my first thought. I wonder if there's a list somewhere that has all the senators wealth/income on it.
Hey, so do bribed ones
But can't seem to lock down insider trading. Just virtue signaling at this point.
At first I thought this meant something, but every lawmaker can withstand a ridiculous pause in pay. If I was a millionaire like most of them I woudn't bat an eye. Want to make this work? Make it so the pay is lost if they get to a paycheck during a shutdown. Permanently. These guys are so greedy they'd fight a bear for 15 bucks.
I mean, that would be worth the 15 dollars.
Their pay for being Senators are the least of their incomes.
