In a shutdown, the congressional staff doesn't report or get paid.  This would not include the personal staff, not paid with taxpayers, but the federally funded staff.

But I agree.  If the elected officials didn't get paid, they would make sure the budget got passed and they would stop tacking all this extra stuff onto the operating budget.
