To: President Donald Trump
Sieze the Congressional Escrow Accounts
The undersigned Citizens hereby demand that the President of the United States enter an EXECUTIVE ORDER, to the Secretary of the United States Treasury, directing him to sieze any and all monies held in escrow in accordance with the No Budget No Pay Act of 2013. The undersigned further demand that said monies shall be Held in Trust until all pending and future lawsuits related to the Automatic Budget Sequestration and Congressional raids on the Social Security Trust Fund have been fully and finally adjudiucated.
Why is this important?
For most of us, no work means no pay. It doesn’t mean our un-earned pay is held in a savings account to collect interest, or as security for a loan. It means, if we don’t do our job, we lose our job, and any money withheld is gone forever. The No Budget No Pay Act of 2013 says if either legislative body fails to pass a budget, members of that body would have their paychecks put into an escrow account starting on April 16 until that body adopts a budget. Any pay that is withheld would eventually be released at the end of the current Congress even if a budget doesn’t ever pass.
