Congressman weren't taking four days a week off. They have things they have to do in their districts too. And better they be working on "constrituent affairs" at the home office than legislating at the national one.

Which may be a valid argument, but "My poor family, whaaaa," hardly is.

That's true. You can only claim a 3 day workweek if you consider the few weeks Congress was actually in session. There were many more weeks when Congress didn't meet at all. This Congress hasn't even APPROACHED a 3 day workweek.

Yes, I'm being obtuse. I don't think it's practical or necessary to have Congress in session 5 days a week, but I definitely expect more out of them than what we've been getting.

Excellent.

Now in addition to the inherent tension between parties Hoyer is adding dissension within the party.

Gridlock. It's what for dinner.
