The Republican led U.S. House of Representatives just returned from a five week hiatus on September 8. That week they worked four days. This past week, which was their second week back, they were scheduled to work a full five day schedule, but House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's office announced on Wednesday that the Friday session had been canceled...along with the rest of September...and all of October.
To put it in clearer perspective, in the fourteen week period beginning with their August vacation and ending after November's mid-term elections, the people we pay to represent us in Washington will have been on the job a whopping eight days. That is 8 days out of a possible 103.
To add insult to injury, for the next 54 days, we will be paying them their full weekly salary to do nothing but campaign; and I'm sure we will hear about how hard they work for us in Washington.
This might be more impressive if they actually spent any time there.
I agree they are the welfare queens or kings.
