Congress can learn a little something from those who have 5 day work weeks

When after the Democrats won control of congress in 2006 and appointed House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced that House members would be subjected to  working “harder” and working that rigorous 5 day work week (from the previous 2 or 3 days per week)? According to Hoyer, the House would begin its session each week by 6:30 p.m. on Mondays and finish business by about 2 p.m. on Friday. Well, since the start of 2009, according to Eileen McGann, so far this year the House has only been in session for 45 days – slightly more than three days a week. That’s better than the Senate’s record – it was only in session for 36 days, an average of less than three days a week. So much for those democrat promises.
