[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 57 points 3 years ago (1 child) Fun fact: Congress is only in session an average of 146 days per year. Let’s talk about who gets a longer “summer break.” permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago There's a slam dunk move Democrats could make here by bringing a clean bill that has everything Republicans want plus a stipulation that all government officials for Minnesota must work every day that the rest of us work. Have the senators and representatives during a federal Congress recess meet with their constituents back home for 40 hours a week. Even Republican voters would frown at the Republicans trying to worm their way out of it. Next, Democrats should introduce a bill to replace their government healthcare with private health insurance companies, and see how loudly Republicans squeal. permalink fedilink source parent
