Yeah, geez, they can be busy for their rest of their lives if they start today reading all the bills they passed without reading them.

I agree completely Freedom Man, to start, they can use this time to actually read some of the other bills that have been passed without actually reading them. I heard a commercial this morning for some firm that helps people organize their pensions. they mentioned a 900+ page bill that was passed last year to address pensions. they also went on to say they will help you identify the 5 key points of this bill. I want to know why it takes 900+ pages to say something that can be boiled down to 5 key points, and can be said in 10; a max of 2 pages per point, who knows what crap they slipped in there.

I like the idea of Congress going and not passing any more laws. However I would be happier if Congress started getting rid of laws.

This is a strange contrast to that “100 hours of legislation” earlier this year. What exactly was the hurry, if they’ve run out of things to do now?

if they were paid by the hour; you would never hear that. these assholes want something to do, they can try answering some of my emails. I can’t believe these asswipes get paid 150k yearly plus kickbacks and all kinds of special interest bribes in every shape form or fashion to work 100 days a year, and the rest of the time they claim there’s nothing to do — all a bunch of scam artists and liars and people actually voted for these people so what does that say about the voters — next voting season I suggest everyone stay home– maybe then they’ll get the message WE WANT REAL PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND NOT JUST THEIR POCKETS. — VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE!

I’d be happy to give them the whole week off. Let’s pay them to play golf, it’ll ultimately be less expensive.
