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.
