Suspend All Legislative and Executive Compensation

Due to the failure of leadership of the US Government to draft a satisfactory budget, I insist that any and all currently serving members of the Legislative and Executive branches have any and all pay, benefits, and other compensations suspended immediately and indefinitely. If you are unable to execute the responsibilities you were elected to perform, you don't get paid.

Why is this important?

As a Veteran, I am personally disgusted by every single member of the US House, Senate and Presidential administration's inability to pass a satisfactory budget in a timely fashion. If our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen aren't getting the compensation they were guaranteed (vis a vis: 3 square meals a day), and our veterans are unable to secure work and/or the contractually guaranteed benefits they are entitled to, then the officers of government whose jobs only exists due to the continued sacrifice of volunteer warriors should cease to draw payment and benefits immediately.
