I think it bares pointing out that the outgoing congress was in session for the fewest number of days in 50 years. Fewer than the 1948 "Do Nothing Congress". They failed to perform their single most important job, agreeing on appropriations. Other than defense and homeland security, all appropriations bills are in a state of limbo, with emergency non-committal versions being continuously renewed, leaving mandated programs underfunded, and preventing any sort of transparency or oversight into federal spending.

So while there may be valid arguments against mandating a full 5 day work week, clearly something needs to be done to get these people to actually show up and perform their job.
