    Do you agree Congress shouldn't get paid if they don't pass a budget? http://www.redstate.com/2013/01/23/no-budget-no-pay/ … #txlege #txcot

        @GregAbbott_TX I agree. I also think they should only earn what a school teacher makes. A teacher does more to improve society.

        .@GregAbbott_TX Yes but why is it linked to another a debt ceiling raise? And the "no pay" is actually deferred to escrow acct?

        @GregAbbott_TX Yes, absolutely! And, while we at it, let's get rid of Congressional pensions. They'll serve a couple of terms and go home.
