    All while our congress takes a 5 week paid vacation, that has followed months and months of minimal gains for 99% of us. This countries priorities are a mess!

  5. Name jk. Sfl. GOP conservatives,the garbage of America.

    Hey , if the wotthless members of congress get paid 175,000 a year for doing nothing and on vacation most of the time, maybe they should make the congressman work for no pay and no pension as interns that have to work for free and their pay scale should be put on the ballot for us to choose.i bet they would get minimum wage or less!!!!!
