U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) today issued the following statement upon House passage of the No Budget, No Pay plan: In our part of Oregon, families sit down around the kitchen table and figure out how to balance their budget. It's time for Washington, D.C. to do the same. If hardworking taxpayers don't do their jobs, they don't get paid. Congress needs to live by the same rulesno budget, no pay. While the House has passed a budget each of the last two years, the Senate has failed to do so in nearly four. The last time the Senate passed a budgetin 2009the iPad hadn't even been invented yet! The federal government must write a responsible budget to get our fiscal house in order. Only then will we be able to create a good strong American economy where people can get a job that pays the bills. The No Budget, No Pay plan withholds pay from members of the House and Senate if their chamber does not pass a budget by April 15. The measure also temporarily suspends the debt ceiling for three months to set up a broader debate about responsible spending. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
