Excellent idea!! Why didn’t Dump or Dance think of that??
no back pay, give same health insurance we have, and cut their pensions by 25%
This guy is a walking corpse and political hack, brining forward a bill you absolutely know will not be passed to appear like your making a sacrifice like the American people is diabolical!!!
The rest of us that do not do our jobs, don’t get paid or we get fired. Make politicians adhere to that business rule!
Every day we remain shut down they should be fined and lose their salaries
I love this man. He just makes sense.
Great!!! That is what the citizens want!!! Don’t do your job? Don’t get paid!!!
Thank you Senator Kennedy!
The ones that do the legislative process should be the FIRST to lose pay. No one else can do it but them. There will never be another shutdown again, I bet.
John is a good man and I trust him completely..He would 4go his paycheck in a heartbeat just to do what is rite 👍
Military, TSA & ATCs should receive every penny of their salaries
you should have acted immediately when they declared stop wirk
the president needs to feel this in his pockets then maybe something will get done
I agree with the no getting backpay, especially for lawmakers who are not in Washington doing their job. So senators who are there working and negotiating yes but the GOPF the house should not get paid!
Absolutely!
This guy is old as the hills.
Why should we pay them and not our employees?
Hooray
He also needs to sign and swear in that woman and ad no more free meals for all of them they get everyday , they cut school lunches for children and starving families
u r way late, make it a law, no open govt, no pay, foe anyone
Cut staff pay. Senators should hear directly how their staffs feel.
then what's the point I'm pretty sure that none of them would really miss the money anyway so still no insensitive to do anything
Great!
Totally agree every single one of them
We have been spending money on things like this for years!!! No one really goes through all of the budget spending and stopping crap like this
if the government is shut down they should not be getting paid either
It should be part of a shutdown that lawmakers do not get paid.
they shouldn't be paid.
Make sense
That’s fair but rich people don’t need food stamps or rent money but go ahead with it 👍🏼
I love senator Kennedy!
Best Idea he has ever put forth in ALL his years as a senator!
This everyone’s idea too why should they get paid for no representation Doing to spite Trump for more Democrats To get back in power in all incoming elections blame Trump & republicans to get defeated.
Pass the first bill….and make it retroactive.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Will you all be giving retroactive to the day y’all stopped working?
No, that defeats the purpose !! No, escrow accounts. No back pay !!
As it should be
I made that comment to my friends…if the government is shut down, why are they still getting a paycheck? They should not be getting paid either! What a bunch of wicked jerks; using us as pawns to get their way! Thank you Senator Kennedy!
Everyone would think twice before shutting down or would they
Thank you, Kennedy! Love you for this! Your reelection is reassured!
I love Sen. Kennedy. He tells it like it is.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Shouldn’t need a bill for this.
That’s not fair! You don’t work you don’t eat and you will be replaced! That’s not representing anyone!
democrats you won youre silly little escapade in new York now lets get on with life for millions of legal americans
Sorry Mr Kennedy,but we have to many ungrateful,un dedicatedgreedy and unamerican politicians.
whats chuck going to do?
FOGHORN LEGHORN GOT A POINT I for once agree with this hillbilly
what a lame attempt at being relevant too little too late all show no go😲😲😲
what about the military them 2 or just 4 congress
