  1. Agreed! They shouldn't be getting paid, when they are just hanging out at their homes and not even doing much "working." I don't see any of them donating their money... I would take a wild guess that MOST of them could not only go without pay (especially Nancy with her millions), but could easily donate.

  2.  George Michael  Pretty sure I see Trump still working (and he actually donates his entire pay), and REPUBLICANS, actually showing up.

  3.  Amanda Billings  Their pay ISN'T being withheld... Whether people are paying taxes or not, THEY are still getting paid!

  4.  @samuelthompson8080  Exactly, therefore they can go without pay. They just don't WANT to.

  5.  George Michael  Huh? Can you please try to correct that comment so it actually makes sense. Also, your part about REPUBLICANS, and stock, don't forget that it's NOT just members of the Right, but also the Left, and you making it sound like it's ALL REPUBLICANS, is just ignorant.

  6.  George Michael  Can you provide an article about this? I know that Burr sold stocks in Feb, which a lot of people did, if they had stocks in certain companies that would have a higher chance of going down. The stock market was at an ALL TIME high, so many smart person, even if they AREN'T in Congress, would STILL sell stocks, if they've had them for any amount of time, because they WOULD'VE made money already, and didn't want to chance losing their profit. It doesn't necessarily mean that EVERY person who did that, did it because of insider trading...

  7.  George Michael  Some years back, there were at least 42 senators, a mix of both Democrats and Republicans, who ALREADY had stock in Pharmaceutical Companies, ranging between 8.1 and 16 million, so it's very likely that many of those Same Senators, still had stock in those companies today. And, if you're smart with Stocks (or your accountant who's taking care of them for you is), and there's a potential health crisis coming up, LIKE COVID19, you aren't going to get rid of THOSE stocks, but rather other stocks (companies), that might, could, or would, be affected by a Health Crisis... i.e. travel, hotels, auto manufacturers, etc. Companies where people STOP spending money. People will sell off the stock that will be more likely to be affected, and then invest in companies where things would either be more stable, or have a greater chance of going up... Just like in 2008/09 when things happened, people are going to sell off stock, so they don't lose their asses (like MANY people I know, including family members), and/or invest in companies that are growing. Depending on how much, someone has invested, will determine "usually" what they do. If it's a younger person, and they have most of their life savings wrapped up in a stock and don't want to chance losing it, they will pull it and sell off their stock. An older person, on the other hand, might choose to keep it in their, if they CAN risk things, and/or if they think it will bounce back, or if they have money in other places (home investments, etc). It's all about the risk and knowing where to "place your money" (or bet, so to speak).
