Do they expect work to be served on a plate so they can eat it and get it over with it?
That's why I like to take tests at school, that's pretty much what you do.

This crybaby who is whining about working more than two days a week makes $13,766.67 per month. He has consistently voted against raising the minimum wage. A working stiff working a five day, forty hour week at the current minimum wage makes $10,704/year. I say that this jerk switch jobs and income with a minimum wage worker from his district.

Not really.
You assume (incorrectly, I think) that all of those issues would get fixed (or at least show improvement) in a more active Congress. Personally, I think a Congress putting in normal 40hr workweeks wouldn't affect Iraq or 'growing economic stratification', they'd probably hurt more than help with massive government corruption and erosion of our Constitution, and might help with the unchecked executive and health care. So, it's a wash.

In a more negative light: The more 'work' they do, the more things will get screwed up
lol beat me to it.
The harder they work, the more bills get passed, and the more money they spend/waste.
Isn't there a saying that goes like "the government that works the best, works the lest"
On the other hand crying about missing your family is pretty lame.

You know if "work done by legislative"= "costly screw ups", why not abolish them completly?

Yep, it's a paraphrase of Thomas Paine, one of America's top revolutionaries. His pamphlet, Common Sense, was a driving force to get the general population in a more anti-monarchy, pro-republic/democracy mindset.
We need more common sense today, I'd say...
They coudl still work full time and pass fewer laws. Heck, it would probably do wonders if they were required to actually completely read and understand what they were voting on. That alone would cull the number of bills while still requiring them to spend a lot of time actully doing rep. work.
Ditto. If it's tearing your family apart being so far away so much, then have them move to Washington. You can afford it.

Hell yes. The turnover in some institutions is glacially slow.

Not to mention hopefully cull the amount of legislation thrown into unrelated bills.
"What the heck is this copyright stuff doing in this Environmental Bill!?!?... NAY!"
Poor baby has a one-and-a-half day work week at $160,000 a year signing legislation lobbyists write for him. I'm sooooo moved.
Hoyer should just say, "The Republicans aren't required to follow the extended schedule. In fact, we encourage them not to. The fewer votes Republicans cast, the better off the country is. Plus, more time home means less time in Washington molesting underage boys."
Does writing stuff like this make you feel good on the inside? I would like to know the motivation behind your weekly hate-filled rants.
