The GOP Congress setting the example for US workers.

For the entire year (of 2016) the House is (was) scheduled to be in session for 111 days.

Paul Ryan has a plan. Part of the plan is to reform Social Security by requiring actual workers to work until the age of 70 before collecting benefits.

Now little Paulie has lived in the Washington DC swamp his entire adult life. He earned 174,000 a year as a Congress member, and earns $223,500 as Speaker of the House. Little Paulie had the House in official session for 111 days in 2016, leaving plenty of time to go home to Wisconsin and to fundraise. So he has no experience in the real world where people work hard for many years in hopes that they can collect Social Security or possibly a pension when they retire.

So when the GOP talks of reforming Social Security, meaning to force people to work until 70, does anyone here think that the irony ever occurs to them?
