Issue Position: No Pay for All Members of Congress Until a Balanced Budget is Passed

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Government Operations Government Budget and Spending

Congress has passed only one budget in the last 6 years. As a result, a national spending spree has ensued and our debt will exceed 20 trillion dollars by Election Day this November. This is unacceptable.
Americans work hard for their paychecks and do not get paid if they do not work; I believe Congress should be held to that same high standard. My "No Budget, No Pay" bill will ensure that Congress does not get paid if they refuse to do their most basic duty of creating and passing a balanced budget.
