Posts - Bill - HR 208 No Budget, No Pay Act
house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to ensure accountability in Congress by proposing the "No Budget, No Pay Act," which would hold the salaries of Members of Congress in escrow if they fail to agree on a budget resolution by April 15. This aims to prioritize fiscal responsibility and prompt decision-making for the nation's financial planning.

Maybe if their pay is on the line, Congress will think twice before playing political games.

No budget agreement? No paycheck? Sounds fair to me!

Accountability? In Congress? I'm intrigued.

Holding salaries hostage won't solve the budget gridlock.

Maybe this will finally get both sides to focus on real issues.

This bill is nothing but smoke and mirrors—typical political theater.
