Period.” The proposal would suspend salaries for members of Congress while appropriations lapse, a punitive measure Scott says ensures accountability: “If they can’t do their jobs, they shouldn’t collect a dime.” The campaign-style post asks followers to weigh in with a two-option poll—A. HUGE YES or B. No—and links to an image. Supporters praise the hard line; critics warn it could worsen shutdown dynamics or raise constitutional and logistical questions.
