‘What About TSA?’: Sen. Rick Scott Calls Out Pay Gap in Shutdown Fight

Sen. Rick Scott is drawing a hard line in the shutdown battle. After revealing that a Democratic senator complained about missing a $174,000 paycheck because of his mortgage, Scott fired back with one question: “What about TSA?” His point was simple. TSA workers make around $50,000 a year, yet they are the ones expected to carry the burden when Washington fails to do its job. That is why Scott says senators should get a $0 paycheck until TSA workers are paid.
