Here's how much less Congress works than you do...

And they don't DO anything when they are there! They make $174,000.00 for just over 4 months of work!

"The House is scheduled to be in session in Washington a total of 133 days this year. The Senate will be in session about the same amount or a few days more.

But if you’re an ordinary American worker with two weeks of vacation and federal holidays off, you’re likely clocking in around 240 days a year at the office."
