As the government shutdown continues to impact thousands of unpaid federal workers, Democrats are calling out what they see as a glaring double standard. Elected officials are still getting their paychecks while everyday workers go without.

According to Politicus USA, Rep. John Larson has introduced a new bill that would put an end to that. The legislation would withhold pay from members of Congress, former President Donald Trump, JD Vance, and White House officials during any government shutdown.

Under the proposal, salaries for the President and Vice President would be placed in an escrow account managed by the Office of Personnel Management. The funds would only be released once the shutdown is over.

Larson isn’t the only one pushing for change. Other lawmakers have also filed similar bills to stop pay for House and Senate members until federal employees are back to work and getting paid.

The goal: to make sure the people making the decisions feel the same financial impact as the workers caught in the middle.
