remind me again how much vacation congress gets?
You don't get it though. They have to sit on their butts for hours at a time unless they feel like not showing up for work that day. It's a very demanding job for only $174,000/yr (unless they work even harder to hide the alternative forms of income) and they only get to vote raises for themselves once every two years.
And they don't even have to bother reading the bills they vote on. They have staffers summarize them for them, and then blame their staffers if they don't know the details of a bill when called out on their vote
Staffers? Did you mean sponsors?
damn shame how we done them
Whatever you do don’t link a compilation video of all the members of congress sleeping on the job. That would be hugely inappropriate and counter to the message they would prefer get sent out.
