I'm Speechless

I cannot believe that the entire Congress gave themselves a 7 week vacation until after the election.  Reason:  They don't know what the country really wants from them.  Really?  Hello, we want you to do your job.  You know that thing you get paid big bucks for?    That thing your begged us for?  We want you to do what is best for the country as a whole.  We want you to work in harmony to keep our country running smoothly.  What we don't want from you is what you have given us so far.  We don't want special interests running our country.  We don't want religious fanatics imposing their beliefs on us.  We don't want our Congress to be the laughing stock of the world and they are.  How can you even have the nerve to make a statement like "We don't know what the country wants from us."  I don't know about the rest of y'all, but if I go to work on Monday and tell my boss that I don't know what she wants of me and I am taking a 7 week vacation until she makes up her mind, I will be told to not come back.  I really think we need the ability to fire our Congressmen and women if they don't do their job.  Or better yet, tie their pay and benefits to performance.  This Congress is the poster child for the "bloated welfare" system in our country.  Maybe this is the 47%, along with the rich, that Romney was talking about.  I go to work every day to make ends meet.  I don't have the luxury of giving myself a vacation.  Neither should they.  This Congress has gone past ridiculous and well into the pathetic.
