The president has already said a deal doesn’t seem likely, blaming Democrats for the possible shutdown.

Florida Governor and Senator-elect Rick Scott was in Orlando Friday afternoon calling on lawmakers in Washington to do their job and balance the budget.

“It’s disappointing; I mean everybody needs to do their job, whether it’s the executive branch or the legislative branch. You need to balance the budget, you need to have a budget. You know do the things you got elected to, and that’s help people get a job, have a secure border, make sure we have a good education system, go do your job,” Scott said.

Scott will head to the U.S. Senate in January. He says it’s only fair that the people in Washington work to get a budget passed.

“If you don’t pass a budget, then you shouldn’t get paid. It’s one of the things I’ve talked about; if you don’t do your job, they don’t pay you right. So these people aren’t doing their job, they shouldn’t get paid,” Scott said.
