48. Was the good Speaker referring to members of Congress?

Oh I guess he wasn't referring to Congress after all. Instead he was referring to people who are willing to perform an honest day's work for far less than Boehner and his cohorts get for doing next to nothing. Except perhaps striving to keep unemployment levels as high as possible and shifting the blame elsewhere, then labeling jobless as "lazy bums".
