The Congress That's Never ThereCongress has been in session just 23 of the 60 days so far in 2013. As the calendar below shows, Congress takes most of the year off: the days shaded orange indicate when the House has been out of session over the past year.Don't worry, the impending series of fiscal crises has not been much of an inconvenience to their schedule: the House began a three-day weekend today, enjoys a four-day weekend next week, and then goes on a two-week vacation starting on March 22, even though government funding runs out March 27.http://www.theatlant...er-there/62676/Not to mention they just got back from two weeks off for Presidents Day.Why are we not outraged by this?And why don't the mandated cuts in the sequester include salary cuts for them?Why are they getting full time salaries for part time work?
