    What is this supposed to do exactly? Hurt only the senators that aren’t independently wealthy / doing insider trading?

    We’re supposed to pretend most of them are there for the paycheck and not the power?

      Any senator not taking bribes, or insider trade, or already wealthy, are now financially stressed during a shutdown. More war on the working class by the wealthy. If you haven’t noticed, the wealthy are driving changes they’ve long desired while they can.
