		<description>I say we dock their paychecks.  They get paid more than the friggin&#039; President, for Christ&#039;s sake!  Not including the benefits even.

I&#039;ve read about congressmen in jail who are still getting paid - despite the fact that they do nothing.  If they get jailed during their term, I say they should lose their position.  ,a href=&quot;http://wonkette.com/442541/dont-worry-congress-will-still-get-paid-during-govt-shutdown&quot;&gt;They also get paid whether or not the government&#039;s running&lt;/a&gt;.  I could go on, but I think I&#039;ve made my point</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, and would save us a helluva lot of money.  We could outsource Congress and take away their benefits.  Oh how cool would THAT be?  Awww, sweet justice.</description>
