Sen. Rick Scott: Senate Dems are the problem – this simple bill will help get spending under control in DC

No Budget, No Pay is very simple bill I first introduced when I got to the Senate in 2019.  It says that if Congress can’t perform its most basic function – passing a budget – then members of the House and the Senate shouldn’t get paid.  

Simple, right?   All 50 Senate Democrats voted against No Budget, No Pay, including the 14 who are up for reelection in 2022. Apparently, that’s too much to ask of Senate Democrats. A few week ago, as the Senate was debating the Democrats’ massive $2 trillion spending bill, I proposed my No Budget, No Pay bill as an amendment. After all, Congress has spent $6 trillion over the last year to address the COVID crisis.
