I've Got No Idea What You're Doing, Right or Wrong, and Neither Do You

Senator Barbara Boxer thinks Congress should act. She's very serious, and she introduced a bill that would prevent representatives and senators from being paid unless they do.

What crisis does the country face so great that she would be willing to forgo her pay in order to see it resolved? What action is it she believes she and her colleagues should take?

Raising the debt ceiling.

Yes, you read that correctly. Until Congress borrows more money they don't have, Senator Boxer says they shouldn't get paid. And while I typed that, my keyboard audibly said, "The hell?"

Word is that Senator Boxer's next legislative goal is passing a law saying that you can indeed divide by zero.
