Ma'am sham: Sen. Boxer says congressmen shouldn't be paid unless it approves of more debt

And by “pay off their debt” they mean “raise the debt ceiling indefinitely”:

If Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling and lets America become a deadbeat nation, we should not be paid. http://t.co/gsOZDJ3CdX

Have you ever worked at a private sector job where your paycheck was directly tied to how “successful” you were at driving the company deeper into debt? Of course not, but the rules in the business of public sector liberal politics are much different.

Boxer considers driving up the debt ceiling as “paying the bills,” but all that does is create more bills to pay.

Good they shouldn't get paid if they don't want I pay the bills they accrued! http://t.co/u9YqQ9XPWb

It’s a shame that so many in D.C. consider driving up the debt as “doing their job”:

If Congress can't do its job, we shouldn't get paid. We've no time to play chicken with our credit http://t.co/AZ94dejrCR

There you have it, senators. If it’s up to Barbara Boxer and others, if you want to keep being paid in full you’ll follow Joe Biden’s time honored advice:
