While the federal government remains shut down, Michigan Congressman Bill Huizenga and California Democrat Scott Peters are teaming up with a bold bipartisan plan: No Budget, No Pay. The bill would block congressional paychecks if lawmakers fail to pass a budget and all 12 appropriations bills on time — no backpay allowed. Huizenga says if our troops and federal workers suffer during shutdowns, Congress should too. Peters is donating his salary during the closure, and watchdog groups are calling the bill a critical accountability measure after years of D.C. dysfunction.
