Yet we're paying for that. Nice, big fat salaries, $140K/year, plus super benefits. Thanks, Speaker Boeher - wouldn't want actual Congressional work to interfere with your golf game or your lobbying on the floor of Congress, passing out checks from oil companies.
The GOP was elected to help the economy and jobs, and so far have nothing but two failed bills, trying to achieve big government control over other people's lives, to show for it.
I'm surprised you support that type of big government interference and control, Dell - I thought you said you were small government?
And then there's Boehners huge mistake yesterday, and again today, of calling for votes the wrong way, and not having enough votes to renew the Patriot Act. Surprise! You guys don't have a clue what you are doing!

This should make you feel better.
"It's important to do what we said we were going to do," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. "The new plan will build upon a partial roster of cuts released Wednesday that targeted school aid, the Environmental Protection Agency and
would kill off a high-speed rail program that Obama wants to significantly expand"
Now get out of the way and stop interferring. And if they continue on this pace they deserve a week vacation for every two worked. Dems should stay in DC and work in defiance.
