Congressional recess--
 

These guys go on vacation with all the stuff our country is going through. :huh:pfft

On second thought maybe it's the best thing ,6 weeks they can't screw things up even more.

Remember when my company was in the doldrums's one year and vacations were cancelled .We worked 6 days a week without a raise that year.

No one got laid off either. :doh: Too old fashion, now a days people get cut first. :(

The only time they REALLY work is if there is an election year, there is an important piece of legislation (like congressional pay-raises), and it's been leaked to the media. Otherwise, they just say "screw it" and take their undeserving vacations. It NEVER ceases to amaze me that the state and national "powers that be" have the right to vote on their own pay raise, whereas the rest of the real world has to prove our worth each and avery day. What a setup!
How many of us would, in all due respect, leave for vacation knowing we didn't finish our work? Once again, what a beautiful setup!

I wish we had term limits for each and every political office, and would hold these individuals accountable/responsible for each and every one of their decisions, and a no-show for a vote would actually have some bearings on their future.

Of course, I then wake up and realize when and where I am, and I realize that we are pretty much screwed.

I am so glad they passed that law in MASS that it is now LEGAL to drink on a golf course. My goodness, it was such a crisis without that!

What happened to taking on the 'paid detail' crowd? How about tax overhaul? Oh yeah, it's vacation time.

I went thru town today, they had 6 policeman on 1 detail for a town project, we're getting fleeced, but, we can drink on the golf course now. Just don't head for your car after 18 at the 19th.

politics = corruption

at our expence

Personnally I will not vote for ANY incumbent with more than 2 terms.I'm totally fed up.

Most congressman are millionaires - they're not doing for the paycheck, but rather for the opportunity to get some of the gravy or to structure favorable tax liabilities. You can draw a direct line from politician, to contributor, to recipients of government funds or contracts, to the drafting of favorable legislation.
Hitler used the concept of "The Big Lie," a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".

To roughly quote Mark Twain: "No man's pocketbook is safe while Congress is in session".

It's even more relevant 100 years later.
