A Thousand Dollar a day fine.. If they don't have an "excuse"..

Cue Jake Blues!

I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT I SWEAR TO GOOOD!"

Republicans upped the fines last year to $1000 per day.

When Democrats get control of the House again they need to push Republicans to walk out and then raise the fines to $10,000 per day.
