Government Shutdown | House members plan to accept paychecks | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment: "With the threat of a government shutdown looming, thousands of federal workers could lose their paychecks for the days the government is out of commission. But the 535 members of Congress who earn $174,000 a year-plus can expect their direct deposits to continue uninterrupted.
The Senate last month passed a stand-alone bill to withhold pay from members of Congress in case of a shutdown, but the House has yet to take the measure to the floor. Instead, Republican leaders attached similar language to a bill it passed last week, but the two chambers haven’t come to an agreement that would turn the bill into a law."
