So congress is on "summer recess", what are they a bunch of school kiddie's, These jerks get something like $130,000 a year.
They work 5 months, they get 7 months off. Hello people, we have a problem here. When an employee works 40 hours, they are entitled to pay, for 40 hours worked, they are not entitled to 140 hours pay for 40 hours work, the concept isn't hard to follow. Now, since congress "works" 5 months out of 12, they are not entitled to 12 months pay, they are entitled to 5 months pay, it's old school math, some don't even need a calculator. But the one's that write the checks, do. Seems to me, accepting money that you didn't earn, is STEALING. And, since I'm the boss, and I don't like being stolen from, also, the ones that give these crooks the "extra" pay, I think they're committing some kind of crime too. But it's a good thing we have special government workers to keep a watch on these swindlers, otherwise these crooks would steal us blind, and put the country at risk, by stealing money that could be used for teachers, or something like that. Why would I want my child to "learn", when it would deprive these hard(ly) working SOB's of a yacht payment, or degrade their ability to hire 7 maids instead of 5, how selfish am I? In light of their recent performance I think we need to lay off some of these higher paid government officials.
