Here's how it works from... If this vote fails before the deadline, Congress stops. No paycheck, no drivers, no security. No phones, no lights in their offices. No free haircuts - Congress has it's own barber - no paychecks (again), and Congress's secret little bank shuts down meaning no checks can be written.

On top of this, they aren't allowed to leave Washington DC until the problem is fixed.

You want to see shit get done in Congress - shut their crap off. Take away all of their perks and paychecks, they'll fucking jump for us.
