ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS CONGRESS IS GETTING SO LITTLE DONE IS BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE 218 DAYS OFF IN 2017

Would you like to have a job that gave you 218 days off a year?

According to the official calendar put out by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the House of Representatives will only be in session for 147 days in 2017. And that is actually an increase from last year. In 2016, there were only 131 legislative days for the House. So if you are wondering why Congress never seems to get anything done, this is one of the biggest reasons. The sad truth is that members of Congress simply do not spend a lot of time doing what they were elected to do.

If you are an average American worker with a full-time job, you probably put in around 240 working days a year. If you have to work that hard, why can’t Congress?

JD's Opinion: Congress should stay in their Districts and listen to the people. They should only come to D.C. something like one day every 30 days to vote on issues. Now with electronic communications they really don't need to go to D.C. Staying in their district would make it more difficult for lobbyist and special interest. The People could keep a better eye on their elected officials.

Congressional committees, for the most part, should be done away with. once a Bill get like 10% of cosponsors it should be brought up for a vote, not this tyrannical way if a committee chair don't like the Bill, he refuse to bring it up for a vote.
