This week senator Graham spoke about his thoughts about the government shutdown. One of the main things he said, that I noticed, was his ideals regarding the loss of government jobs. He said, "I shouldn’t get a congressional salary while other federal employees are denied the ability to go to work."
This shows his strong beliefs about this topic. And later on in the week he shared that he would be donating his salary to the Wounded Warriors charity, until the government shutdown ended and all the government employees got their jobs back. I believe that this is a very generous act by senator Graham, and a very good thing that he is doing, to make himself look like a very good person (I am not saying that he is not a good person). I personally believe he is doing this just for political reasons; donating your salary because you are a government worker that is still getting paid, while all of the others are not is something that would sound very good on a campaigning add when he runs for election again.
