7. Why would you continue to pay those members of congress who vote no on the debt ceiling?

I mean if they don't want the debt ceiling to increase to pay those debts that have already been racked up
then why should their pay continue?? Doesn't make sense to me. By the way can a spending cut discussion begin with cutting the "senate hair care revolving fund". They get enough perks. Take this away and demand that they work 5 days a week -- or maybe we should have part time congressmen. I am sure there are those unemployed who would love to work 2 days a week in congress -- i would.
