How many times have we faced a government shutdown because the two parties in Washington can’t work across the aisle and pass a government funding bill? If you’re running out of fingers to count, that should tell you everything about how broken Washington is.
It’s crazy that members of Congress are willing to play political games and put the livelihoods of thousands of public servants at risk, but they don’t lose their paychecks themselves.
That’s why Blue Dogs proudly support legislation to force Congress to pass a budget and appropriations bills on time or they don’t get paid.
Blue Dogs are normal people in Congress who want to get sh*t done. We believe in freedom and we’re fighting to protect yours. We’re pro-America, pro-democracy, and working to pass fiscally responsible policies that benefit everyday, hard-working Americans.
