Senator to give up salary during any shutdown

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin says he'll give up his salary during any federal government shutdown, and he's asking his colleagues on Capitol Hill to do the same.

All Congress members should lose their salaries during the shut down and should NOT be paid for those days. They should not be paid for failure.

I do not disagree, but they should have lost years salary for failing to pass a budget in 2010 for 2011

That fact was not lost on all of us. The sad thing is that it may be an empty gesture if he doesn't rely on the income to meet his financial obligations.

Yes they failed there also. At least their salary until a budget can be passed. We simply have a corrupt and incompetent congress.

Manchin is not poor by any measure, but he does not have the $ stashed like Reid, Rockefeller and most other senators on both sides.

If the Congress, Reps, Senators, Staff, police etc. are laid off (and not paid) will the Capital Building be padlocked, and Congress not meet again until a budget CR is passed?(ooops, Congress must meet to pass the CR)

Will the Executive Branch, including the President be laid off too?

This is mostly Bull Shit, Drama, for the benefit of the ignorant masses to manipulate us so one party or the other wins the public relations power struggle. The money you pay in taxes will go to the 'friends' of the party that wins.
