Yeah, every time they start whining about the Iraqi Parliament, I want to ask them “And just what has the US Congress accomplished this year that justifies them taking a 6 week summer vacation EVERY year”?

One set or rules for them and another for the rest.

“And just what has the US Congress accomplished this year that justifies them taking a 6 week summer vacation EVERY year”?

Actually, I wish they would take a six week vacation in the winter, spring, summer AND fall. The less time they spend 'on the job' in Washington--the better for us all. The less legislating they do--the less damage they do.

When you look at many of the liberal, big government 'knows best' programs, and so-called progressive/intrusive/regulatory laws that they pass, I'd much rather have LESS legislation, not more.
