even get a "Spring Break"?

As I grew up, I was told "Spring Break' always applied to students. Not one time did I every hear of employed citizens getting a "Spring Break". Of all the jobs I had, I never got a "spring break". Imagine if everyone working person received a spring break at the same time? It would be a disaster.

So why do the losers in Congress get a "Spring break, along with all the other breaks they get throughout the year?

Oops.... look what I found. Congress works less than half the year, with the House averaging 147 legislative days annually.

These people don't have a job. THEY HAVE A POSITION!!!!!
