New rules - no shut down

[ElmerMudd]

If the rules are changed on government shutdowns there will be fewer and shorter shutdowns.
The new rules should be any government shutdown will result in no pay for congress including staff and the President and all of the Presidential staff including cabinet members.

Nope. We need more than that. Legislators are nearly all millionaires.

This would have no real effect.

Pass a law that mandates continuing resolutions at previous levels if agreements can't be reached.

Boom. No more shut downs

And complete privatization of all "non essential" agencies that are shut down.

Deal!....Compromise, butch!

What would also prevent shutdowns is if both parties learned the meaning of the word compromise they have both fallen into this my way is the only way mindset.

Just a reminder. We HAVE privatized a lot of government functions.

False. Even if you are a small government person, shutdowns only target hard working people who have no effect or influence on the policy disputes. They are innocent pawns that get used by ineffective politicians. That’s not a good thing.

Perhaps instead of passing some law, Congress should just do its job and pass an annual budget.
