Congress gets July 23rd to Sept. 1st off from work for "recess". WTF? BE AN ADULT.

It is not a real job. Therefore, if they are so entitled they should be paid the same as teachers. OR only 47\52nds (90.4%) of their salary.
A real job gets two weeks of sick time 2 weeks of vacation and 1 week of personal time. Not built in 5 weeks recess with pay! Grow up America! Our government should be full time.

@MarineBob ok and those district employees work full time. The politicains dont actually work in congress during their summer reccess.

@MarineBob so children are given 2 months (8 to 10 weeks) vacation for summer; to enjoy the weather and family. To experience life outside of the controlled setting that is school, to grow up and experience life. Parents and adults work YEARROUND to pay bills and raise a family. Government employees are adults and work year round earning 4 or 5 weeks of accrued leave time per year. as a government employee i was getting 2 weeks of sick time 1 week personal and 1 week vacation per year. a total of 4 weeks of accrual time a year). Politicains (especially in congress) get more paid time away from work than any other group. Are they adults? or children? Most are over retirement age, which is 65. So somethings gotta give!
The working retired are sinking America!
