Congress needs to pay a price when it fails to make a yearly budget and, moreover, when it fails to reduce the deficit.

First:

1. Checks stop when budgetary due dates are exceeded;
2. Budgetary checks become retroactive; for every month that a budget is overdue, a month’s pay is deducted from the House and the Senate;
3. Bills enacted upon the electorate apply equally to Congress; no exceptions whatsoever;

Pain must be applied equally.

Heretofore, it is not. And purposefully so.

Pain must be applied — purposefully so.
