[Sunshine]

House Democrats spoke out against the bill, dismissing it as a “gimmick,” a word also used by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

You can not hire someone and then not pay them

We should make their pay merit based pay, then it's legal not to pay them.. or at least cut their pay drastically til they don't wanna do it no more.

Sure you can. Try being a salesman on commission only.

No one hired them, they were elected, they volunteered to run for office.

Just out of high school I worked in a sales office. No salesman got paid unless they sold.

You are the biggest dumbass I have ever met. Isn't it a little early for you to be hitting the cannabis?

They do every year.

In 1989, Congress passed an amendment allowing for the automatic raises, unless lawmakers specifically voted to reject it. Which Congress did, until 2000

"Members of Congress have the only job in the country whose occupants can set their own salary without regard to performance, profit, or economic climate," said Tom Schatz, president of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste in a press release. "Clearly, members must think that money grows on trees. With a $480 billion deficit, the escalating cost of the war in Iraq, and a stagnant economy, Congress should be curbing spending, not lining their pockets at our expense."
