The GOP is working...

...hard for your money.

From J-Walk Blog - click here for the link...

The seats of Congress are empty this week, with the nation's lawmakers out of town for the St. Patrick's Day recess.

The empty seats are a sight that is becoming more common in the Capitol with Congress on track to set a modern-day record for the least amount of time in session. The House plans to be in Washington 97 days this year...

The average American has worked more than 50 days in 2006, but, so far, the House has worked in Washington just 19 days, a total of 118 hours. The Senate is not far behind with 33 days at the Capitol.
