Withholding Holder's Pay:‘If You’re in Contempt, We Don’t Pay You’

Republican Congressman Blake Farenthold wants Congress to halt Attorney General Eric Holder‘s paycheck as long as he remains in contempt of Congress. He told Greta Van Susteren Thursday night that it could help hold people like Holder to account, explaining, “If you’re in contempt of Congress, we don’t pay you.”

would bring to mention such a notion considering the United States congress is dysfunctional and that to a given perhaps the people,owners of the government should withhold congressional pay until functionality is restored.

Imagine.
