Our poor over worked under paid Representatives in Congress
 
Has anybody noticed that ever since the Republicans took control of Congress our poor Representatives have been working less and less?
Last year 134 days , year before 139 days this year between 110 and 114 days
These people are paid 174.000 dollars MIN a year PLUS Benefits and expenses.
that is 1545 a day and for what?
They haven't done a thing.
Most hard working taxpayers don't make that much working a full 40 hour week.
And these guys work how many hours in the days they do " work"
Isn't it time we the people start demanding they people start doing something?

They haven't done a thing since Obama took office.

...and when Clinton OR Trumpanzee gets elected - absolutely nothing will change.

Neither will be able to get anything through Congress. No matter what Trump says, he cannot do schmaltz without rhe authorization of Congress - except to fart in the Oval Office.

It is up to us to start holding these people responsible and tell them to cut the foolishness and get to work and work at least 3 days a week

They don't "work" even when they're there in DC. Staff and lobbyists do the "work", they just vote how/when told.

Thank goodness! I hate it when congress works. All they do is cost us more money every time the pass another bill. I wish they would learn from Texas and only meet about every two years.
