3. Not good enough

The hundreds of thousands of federal workers didn't have the opportunity to voluntarily forgo their salaries. They were told, you're furloughed. In some cases, they have to work without pay, in others they just go home.

Every single member of congress should be required to work without pay during the shutdown, with no - repeat no - payment of the lost salary when this Republican-made crisis ends.

They wanted a shutdown. Let's have a shutdown - 100%. No post offices, no VA care, no food inspection, no military, no intelligence, no export/import processing. Nothing.
