We like it. Congress shouldn’t be paid if they haven’t passed a budget. And we’ve added the No Budget, No Pay Act to our list of bills that supporters of a transparent and orderly Congress should back. (That’s S. 1442. Another bill with the same name we’ve also added is S. 1981.) And also its House counterpart, H.R. 3643.

That list is maintained on our petition: “We Want a Transparent and Orderly Congress.”
