Subj : SNAP Funding Shortage To : Sean Dennis From : August Abolins Date : Tue Oct 21 2025 23:28:00 Hello Sean Dennis! ** On Tuesday 21.10.25 - 18:21, Sean Dennis wrote to Mike Powell: MP>> IMHO, during shutdowns, Congress should not be paid at all... not just MP>> during, but no back-pay once the Government is back up and running. MP>> They should be "working" (term used loosely) for free during any MP>> shutdowns that they cause. The logic of the who gets paid and who does not is absurd. The top politicians [congress and senate] should face a penalty of no-pay since it is them who are responsible for announcing a shutdown. It is not fair to suspend pay for people who have no influence in the decision. SD> I agree. Congress is the opposite of progress. Well noted! -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.64 * Origin: (618:400/23.10) .
