Totally unacceptable. Just a bunch of lazy stuck up jerks. What is the difference in 5 days? Thy all need to be kicked out.

House plans only 109 workdays in 2012 - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
Agreed. Perhaps they are foreseeing a future of unemployment...vote the bums out....

Here in Washington state, the state govt. is in a "special session" to work out the budget. This bothers me on several levels. Why do they need a "special" session to do what is probably their most important job, figuring out how to spend all our tax dollars? Shouldn't that be the first thing they tackle? This seems so simple, maybe I'm missing something... Take a "special session" for some other bs that no one cares about, but figure out the damn budget first. Our govt. is so crazy and out of control on all levels, both parties, I don't know how anyone can stand it anymore. Then you see the OWS protests all over, and people act like they don't understand why they are protesting? Seriously? You think everything is going just fine?

It would be better if they had an even smaller number of workdays (but they should also certainly be paid less).
