If the government shuts down none of the Senators who voted to do so should see a single PENNY of a paycheck (or one iota of health benefits) until the shutdown is resolved.

I almost, ALMOST want them to go ahead and do it, just so I could see the massive backlash they’d get for it.

But I’d prefer NOT to risk the country.

Do they have any idea how utterly incompetent this makes us look to foreign nations?
