they might have a right to complain about freeloaders. Last time I checked they were still the most ineffectual congress in our history. And yes, the actual stats back that up! They can vote themselves pay raises for spouting rhetoric in front of cameras while passing almost no worthwhile legislation (unless you count naming post offices).
