From the headlines of Drudge, the Dems begin to break one of the campaign vows they made during their run up to winning the elections. They vowed to work 5 day work weeks. Increase the productivity in Congress. Well, today those promises are broken. This image taken from a Stenny Hoyer press release reveals that those promises are not exactly being upheld. As for the promises by Hoyer? Here are the quotes from a WaPo article written back in Decmeber:
And like Drudge points out, next week, is Martin Luther King Day. This weeks reason...Ohio football game. Thats right, the Dems are shutting down the Congress to watch a football game.
"Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week" front-paged the WASHINGTON POST in December.
Majority leader Steny Hoyer said members of the House will be expected in the Capitol for votes each week by 6:30 p.m. Monday and will finish their business about 2 p.m. Friday.
Explained the POST: "Forget the minimum wage. Or outsourcing jobs overseas. The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress yesterday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January."
