If congress is still being paid for this farce of a shutdown maybe as Americans we should insist on term limits for everyone  and then also insist that if you are not willing to do your job you should get out, resign, etc and put someone in who knows what a real budget is and also has some common sense.

Just wanted to let you know - today I received my 2013 Social Security Stimulus Package. It contained two tomato seeds, cornbread mix, two discount coupons to KFC, an 'Obama Hope & Change' bumper sticker, a prayer rug, a machine to blow smoke up my *** and a 'Blame it on Bush' poster for the front yard. The directions were in Spanish.

I question why Congress is getting paid during the government shut down. You can furlough hundreds of Americans without pay, and close down national monuments. Why is the scare always to do with social security, Medicare, education, soldier’s pay and benefits, or anything else that affects the Average American? In previous years in our history Congress got paid only for the days that they actually showed up for work in Washington, they reduced their salary when the nation was in trouble and they actually worked at their job for the good of the people. Why is this Congress special? Some of you are millionaires and still take from the government; pay, medical benefits that are better than any that an Average American ever hope to obtain, and a great retirement plan that many Americans do not have! Who is paying for these and who is giving them to you, and who is in control of these? I thin that the answers to these questions would scare most Americans. Do you see a problem here? I do and I think that many Americans do too.

6I totally agree and I'd go even farther it used to be you served because you believed in something we now serve as a job with high pay.  I believe they should be paid the wages of a private in the United States Army
