Lying bastards.
Most of our country's legislators are millionaires or better. $7,700 each isn't all that much to give up to a person that makes almost $15K per month.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who voted against the House bill to reopen the government, received his full paycheck once the government was back up and running.
“Mr. Hunter said he was suspending his paycheck until full operations resumed. So he would receive his paycheck as will federal workers,” a spokesman for the California Republican said.
Rep. Luke Messer, Indiana Republican, said he would defer his paycheck if the shutdown lasted through the pay period that ended Oct. 30, a spokeswoman said. Because the shutdown ended before then, he kept his full paycheck.
Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat, vowed to donate her salary to charity if all federal workers didn’t get back pay after the shutdown. A spokesman said that because federal workers did get paid, the senator is collecting her own check.
