I am not talking about the fairy tale of the “welfare queens”….the freeloaders are those worthless lumps of crap that we elect…….in case you are confused….CONGRESS!

This damn silly game being played….the shutdown……has brought a lot to light….like Congress who are government employees are exempt from a furlough during this time of government juggling…….I mean these turds work part time…..3 days a week about 120 days a year and yet they keep their benefits while normal workers…full time workers must be laid off to save money……

Even when there is no monetary crisis these ‘people’ get free stuff……like health care, mail, but the one that irks me the most is the gym……..

No more bicep curls on the public dime, say two House Democrats. Reps. Bill Foster and Patrick Murphy are demanding the House gym and spa be closed for the duration of the federal shutdown. “Members of Congress should not enjoy access to their exclusive gym and spa while Capitol police go without pay, children are being turned away from Head Start, and veterans are left wondering if their benefits will come in the mail on November 1st,” the pair wrote in a letter being sent to colleagues, reports Politico. Another, more appalling cut courtesy of the shutdown: The $100,000 death benefit paid to families of fallen soldiers. Back in the trivial world of congressional perks: “Not only are members still able to access the taxpayer-funded gym, sauna, and steam room while tens of thousands of federal employees remain furloughed,” the lawmakers write, “janitorial staff are still required to clean the gym and restock it with towels and other ‘essential items.'” The lawmakers are introducing a cheekily titled bill called the Shutdown Prioritization Act—or SPA Act—which would force the gym to close for this and any other shutdown. One aide says that the order to keep the gym open came directly from John Boehner’s office, reports Think Progress, which also notes that many House members live in their offices and use the gym to shower.

I thought we paid these people to govern the country….not hang out and waste time working on their 6 packs…….if they spent as much time on mental pursuits as they do crunching their biceps then we might have a country that we could be proud of once again……
