2. Republicans don't like to work

They just like to get paid--just like common criminals.

[Lugnut]

3. Obviously not.

Their paychecks should reflect their actual hours worked.

4. Why? (nt)

[WI_DEM]

5. When is the President's State of the Union Address?

both houses should be in session then. Isn't the SOTU usually in late January?

[WI_DEM]

8. Thanks, That seems late for the SOTU.

[madinmaryland]

15. I think the SOTU is scheduled in inauguration years, to be several weeks after the inauguration.

So the new president can give the SOTU. I think it was the same in 2009.

They have a lot of work to do.

[onenote]

13. most months: four days a week, three weeks a month

August is mostly recess. September November and December two weeks. June, four days a week for four weeks.

[BlueDemKev]

11. I hope they're adjourned until Feb. 2015...

...then they won't be able to cause any more harm before the Democrats retake the House!

[Angry Dragon]

12. mininum wage and no benefits if they want to be part-timers

[Filibuster Harry]

14. And they are fiscally conservative?? And they complain about unemployed people being lazy

and not working?? They have a damn nerve!! They should be working 5 days a week like the rest of us.
This is insane. We, the people, should demand that our money NOT go and pay these idiots for working less than 1/2 of the year. You know this August they are in session just 2 days!!! Just 2 days!!! Can we shutdown all our businesses for 29 days in August -- Let's ALL go on vacation!!!

[Trascoli]

17. Don't they always take time off?

Perhaps I'm wrong, I thought is was sop?
