Republicans Expect You to Work While Mitch McConnell Gives the Senate A Record Vacation

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) set a very unambitious calendar for 2016, including a nearly two-month August recess. Yes, this is the party that is against paid time off for workers. But apparently being a Senator isn’t “work”, just ask Republican Marco Rubio, who missed the most votes of any senator running for president.

According to the schedule published, McConnell is giving the Senate the longest August break it has had in decades. They will be taking time off from July 18 – September 5, 2016. During the same time period in 2015, Republicans took four weeks off.

There are also tons of other “state work” periods, also known to you and yours as time not in Washington. Here’s a screengrab of the schedule, which is tentative and “identifies expected non-legislative periods (days that the Senate will not be in session).”

1. It has aways been play money to them.

What was it ... $24 Billion the last time they shut down the government?

2. I'm surprised they haven't all left DC after iSIS declared they were next.

We probably won't see much of them since they will be digging their holes even deeper into the ground. Gotta hide their gold as they are hiding their arses asap.
