参议院共和党人一项“让自身承受痛苦以阻止未来政府停摆”的赌博意外获得了支持者：参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默。
美国参议院将于周三就路易斯安那州共和党议员约翰·肯尼迪提出的决议进行投票，该决议将禁止议员在政府停摆期间领取薪水。共和党人希望借助这一手段，获得谈判筹码，阻止民主党在秋季再次导致政府停摆。
而曾在过去一年带领民主党经历两次政府停摆的舒默，计划对此表示支持。

“我会投票支持，”舒默说道，“我认为这项决议会获得大量支持。”
肯尼迪的决议将指示参议院秘书暂停议员薪酬，直至政府停摆结束。普通参议员年薪为174,000美元，两党党鞭年薪则超过193,000美元。
此外，该决议仅适用于参议院。不过，它要到11月中期选举后才会生效，一些共和党人担心，选民投票前，舒默和民主党会再次让政府停摆。

尽管如此，在舒默以及本周早些时候将该提案列入投票议程的参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩的支持下，这项决议很可能会获得通过。
这可能会降低议员们在未来几个月内再次让政府停摆的意愿——因为国会仍在应对日益频繁的政府停摆及其留下的烂摊子。
最近一次部分政府停摆持续了76天，是美国历史上最长的一次，导火索是民主党要求对美国境内的移民执法行动实施严格改革。去年，民主党人拒绝为政府拨款，导致停摆43天，以此要求延长现已到期的奥巴马医改税收抵免政策。
共和党人希望永远终结政府停摆 担忧民主党会故技重施
共和党人目前正加速推进预算和解程序，以解决此前停摆遗留的遗留问题，并为移民海关执法局（ICE）和边境巡逻队提供未来三年半的资金支持。
图恩指出，共和党人之所以选择这一方案，正是因为民主党拒绝为这些机构拨款，但他仍希望肯尼迪的决议能成为终结未来政府停摆的“灵丹妙药”。
“如果我们通过这项法案，并将其适用于参议员，或许能为未来阻止参议院民主党再次导致政府停摆提供额外的激励，”图恩说道。

Schumer backs GOP’s plan to bring the pain during future shutdowns: ‘I’m going to vote for it’

Senate Republicans’ gamble to inflict pain on themselves to thwart future shutdowns just got an unlikely backer: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The upper chamber is set to vote on Sen. John Kennedy’s, R-La., resolution on Wednesday that would prevent senators from getting a paycheck during a government shutdown. It’s a tool that Republicans hope will give them leverage in preventing Democrats from again shuttering the government in the fall.
And Schumer, who has led Democrats through two shutdowns in the last year, plans to support it.

“I’m going to vote for it,” Schumer said. “And I think it has a lot of support.”
Kennedy’s resolution would direct the Secretary of the Senate to withhold lawmakers’ pay until a shutdown is resolved. A rank-and-file senator earns $174,000 per year, while a leader of either party can earn over $193,000 per year.
His resolution would only pertain to the Senate, too. However, it wouldn’t take effect until after the November midterm elections, and some Republicans fear that Schumer and Democrats will again shut the government down before voters hit the polls.
KENNEDY PUSHES PLAN TO HALT CONGRESS PAY DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Still, with the blessing of Schumer and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who teed up the measure for a vote earlier this week, it’s likely to pass.
That could lessen the desire of lawmakers to thrust the government into yet another shutdown in the next few months as Congress is still reeling from the growing frequency of closures, and the messes that they leave behind.
The latest partial shutdown lasted 76 days, the longest in U.S. history, and was spurred by Democrats’ demands for stringent reforms to immigration operations in the country. Last year, Democrats refused to fund the government for 43 days in pursuit of an extension to now-expired Obamacare tax credits.
REPUBLICANS EYE ENDING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS FOREVER OVER FEARS DEMS WILL DO IT AGAIN
Republicans are now sprinting through the budget reconciliation process to shore up loose ends from the previous shutdown and fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol for the next three and a half years.
Thune noted that the only reason Republicans turned to that option was because of Democrats’ refusal to fund those agencies, but still hoped that Kennedy’s resolution could be the silver bullet to put an end to shutdowns in the future.

“And if this — passing this and applying it to senators, maybe it will provide an additional incentive to prevent Senate Democrats in the future from shutting the government down again,” Thune said.
