2. Vacation time

Let me see . . . the House took off the month of August. Plus they got the last 2 weeks of July off . . . so there could be no Epstein vote. And now they get 2 more weeks for the Republican/Epstein shutdown. That looks like a minimum of 2 months' taxpayer funded vacation time. And does not speak to their working vacations and extended holiday vacations. Wouldn't all Americans appreciate that much paid-vacation time?
