They supposedly 'work' a few days a month, but why bother with even that little bit of 'work'. They get their gov handout, why worry about anyone else.
will President Obama and Senate Democrats EVER accede to such outrageous demands and voluntarily defund their signature piece of legislation that has now been approved by Congress and validated legally and constitutionally by SCOTUS and then further validated by voters when the majority of them voted to re-elect President Obama and keep the Democrats in control of the Senate. The Republicans have to got to learn that, whatever else you believe about the Founding Fathers and how they designed our government, willfully threatening to sabotage the normal operation of government in order to achieve legislative goals was NOT how it was designed to work. If Republicans want to repeal laws they don't like and enact their own agenda, it is their responsibility for convincing the majority of the people of the *rightness* of their policies and then get enough people elected to Congress and to the WH to help them get their policies enacted into law. They are not (or should not be) allowed to achieve their policy aims by threatening to refuse to do their jobs by not keeping government operating normally. They IMHO need to respect the law and if they don't like it, they need to work within our system- which has operated basically fine for over two hundred years now- to get it changed and if they can't get it changed, then they have to live with it. End of story.
