  • That makes sense. You take too many vacations, so instead, you take fewer, but make them last longer.
    I wish I could get a job like that!

  • It doesn't matter who's in the majority, they're all overpaid spoiled brats. Flush 'em all down and start from scratch with someone "in charge" who isn't afraid to institute term limits. If it's good enough for the presidency, it's good enough for these parasitic leeches.

  • Term Limits and a lot of these things will not be happening because a lot of people won't care to run for they won't get the advantages.

  • Damn it must be nice to only work 2.5 days a week and then setup a big vacation schedule. L'il Pauley cant grasp that the American people are feed up with congress not getting a damn thing done. It is time that each member of Congress is required to work 40 hours a week for at least 11 months a year. These damn "holiday" breaks are bull shit.

  • Make millions on the sly and get a 365 day vacation, No you know why we are in trouble. Make them work 90 to 120 days straight thru and not be able to legislate the rest of the year.

  • Their job is a vacation. So they need a vacation from their vacation.

    They should make Congress part time. That's all they work anyway. Reduce their salaries and benefits accordingly.

  • I don't know...given the amount of mischief they get up to when they're in session, longer vacations might be a good idea.
