Seven members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted against giving back pay to federal workers on Friday, including Wisconsin's Glenn Grothman.


..................................The vote was 411-7.

President Donald Trump has indicated that he would sign the legislation, according to The Hill.

In an interview with the Journal Sentinel, Grothman said it was "awfully generous" to guarantee back pay to workers even in scenarios (like an extended shutdown) when they might not be working for months.

"We can work out something, for some sort of compensation, but to get paid full pay for maybe three or four months when you're not working?" Grothman said.

“That’s why we're $22 trillion in debt. These people around here can’t say no to anything,” he said of his colleagues.

The other congressmen to vote no were Republicans Justin Amash of Michigan, Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ted Yoho of Florida.
