You know congress is corrupt to its core, when even Rand Paul objects to a bill eliminating congress pay during shutdowns. (www.youtube.com)

And more on topic, the obvious problem with withholding congressional pay is it transfers leverage to wealthier representatives. It's way easier for a wealthy career politician to pass up pay than it is for a newer, less corrupt representative.

So you prefer Rand's plan of just paying everyone?
