Fun Fact: the Congress people will still get paid. They made sure to put that in one of their votes.

[tonyagreathouse]

Hold their pay. Since they can't decide how to spend our money. Let us decide!

[donkellogg]

The whole dang mess needs rebuilt with quality people instead of the swamp beasts in office now.

[cokergx]

So now they're worried about the military and border.... ah ok.

[wheelockmedia]

Fun fact: Ukraine will still get paid according to the Pentagon, but not military members…

[eszhjko]

They do this every year, on purpose, to get what they want.
Disgraceful

[SONORSQguy]

How about we get rid of the pay for the politicians? They are absolutely worthless.

[findurcalling]

I hope this will be a wake up call to those who voted for the egocentric politicians in power who don’t care for our country or the American people.

It’s time to make better choices…. They need to be voted out!

[seanyoung]

Maybe if the American voter didn't treat politics like the NFL playoffs or American Idol, we'd have better leaders who wouldn't do things like this.

[allenkranawetter]

It also means none of the politicians should get paid either

[loganmontoya]

And yet I bet all the politicians will get paid. They’ll probably give them selves raises.

[wesleychapman]

Let the politicians fill what we all have been feeling

[mfaltz]

They should pass a bill to pay for the essential things like pay for employees. Then have separate votes on all the pork. But these crooks want to hold our employees pay hostage to get all their pork spending.

[ijvgxqr]

McCarthy knew it wouldn't pass and wouldn't pass in the Senate either. Total waste of time!

[HagiaFantasia]

Looking forward to Kevin McCarthy at the unemployment line next week.

[foxyccc]

If I were a TSA agent, I would just quit because being airport security sucks too much to do it for free.

[LJG]

These people in government (politicians) were elected to perform a job. The primary one is to keep the government operating. They are responsible for meeting critical deadlines. Who elected these people? They are incompetent, unqualified and should all be FIRED!!!

[michaelgomez]

Good. Let it shut down. They are wasting our money on garbage.

[RoryannGoodman]

They can pass what is appropriate to wear in congress but can't keep government open. Crazy.

[chucklogan]

Sad thing is those Politicians on both sides of the isle will still get paid their salaries 175, 000.00 dollars!!😡😡😡What a joke
