連邦政府の職員に給料が支払われず, 議員はそれぞれ2万ドルを受け取った. Lawmakers received $20,000 each during the record shutdown, sparking backlash over pay while federal workers went unpaid.

新報によると,議会は政府閉鎖の記録的な期間中,それぞれ2万ドルを受け取った. 何百万もの連邦職員が無給で働いていた時代に,給料に関する批判を煽った. Lawmakers received $20,000 each during the record-breaking government shutdown, according to new reports, sparking criticism over pay during a period when millions of federal employees worked without pay. 支払いは,議会のメンバーが閉鎖中に補償金を引き出すことを可能にする条項の下で行われたが,政府の説明責任と公平性に対する公衆の懸念の中で,タイミングは精査を促した. The payments were made under a provision allowing congressional members to draw compensation even during shutdowns, though the timing has drawn scrutiny amid public concern over government accountability and fairness.
