If they want to play the game, fine, so be it. How dare they bitch about not getting enough perks. Know when to stop holding out greedy hands, just might get chopped off.

Well one thing you have to look at.. even though they are only in congress 3 days a week, it's not like they are sitting by the pool the other 4 days. They are still out doing shit be it if they have to fly back to their own states or what ever. So it's a little unfair when people say they only worked X amount of days, but they damn sure shouldn't bitch about the pay or the benefits..
Granted a good part of that is them doing fund raising for their next campaign.
