I'm out here trying to exist on next to nothing and these
ass..... are on 'vacation'? Well, it's June. Time for the
Congress critters to be seen golfing, sailing and going to
the ball parks I guess. Must be nice. They're probably
lining up their corporate donors and selling us up the
proverbial creek.

if that and quickly move on. Can most people set their own payscale,,can most people go anywhere in the world on the taxpayers dime.

Do we have a say in most of the laws they make that benefit them. They also set up where the roads are and where the jobs will be placed in this country.

There's a difference. I appreciate being able to meet with my reps here at home and not having to travel to DC to see them. Mine has had several public forums this week. So I know he's not on vacation.

After that hard work, they need a break.

Can't we be reasonable here?

they also hire family and friends one way or the other and direct contracts for who knows what to family and friends then tell us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps,
