It’s about friggin’ time. Congress ought to be penalized for NOT passing budgets, as required by law. I say dock their salaries x dollars per day for each day beyond the date upon which budgets are due.

” I say dock their salaries x dollars per day for each day beyond the date upon which budgets are due.”

The government writes that in as “liquidated Damages” in all their contracts......penalties for poor performance....

Note: A local Contractor used to regularly over perform and beat construction schedules.....he sued the government for their dollar per day assessment arguing that the penalty established the value per day to the government. He got paid millions when he won his lawsuit!

I happened to meet him a few times. Friendly but tough personality. Hard driving! On a smaller scale I’ll bet they were kindred souls........
