Oh the inhumanity of the Democrats!
"The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says." - Jack Kingston (R-GA)
What is this apparent new salvo in the new Democratic push against the family?
According to Representative Kingston, this new Democratic outrage against the family is all about requiring members of Congress to report to work 5 days a week!
According to the Washington Post, our apparently overworked representatives will actually have to put in some time on the hill for the next two years. Instead of working Tuesday through Thursday, they will have to show up no later than 6:30 pm Monday and stay until 2:00 pm Friday!
Ever stoic, the Democrats are taking it in stride:
"It's long overdue," said Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), who lives in Napa Valley and will have to leave his home at 3 a.m. on Sundays to catch a flight to Washington in time for work Mondays. "I didn't come here to turn around and go back home."
