Divisions among House Republicans were on display Thursday as tensions erupted during a closed-door meeting and later the chamber convened with late night votes as a government shutdown nears.
I don’t know how it would pass constitutional muster, but I think in the event of a shutdown all federal representatives (and families) should have all positive financial transactions except for their congressional pay be put in a low yield bank account and only released to the representative once the transaction has be audited by a non-essential federal auditor; a.k.a, you have to live on ONLY your salary until the shutdown is over.

Why should they get their salary? This is happening because they didn’t do their damn jobs.
