No Budget, No Pay

Congress should be held accountable to do their jobs, starting with managing the finances of the country.  This is what every family and every business has to do. 

Members of Congress and Senators should be held accountable when they fail to perform their most basic function: funding the government. Congress has not passed a budget by the October 1 deadline since 1996.  

No Budget, No Pay is bipartisan legislation supported by 65% of Americans that would withhold congressional salaries if an annual budget fails to pass by October 1.  There have been a number of No Budget, No Pay bills introduced in recent years, but none have passed.
