Congress is planning a six-week vacation?!?

the US is experiencing its worst economic crisis since the great depression, and congress wants time off from the end of this week until january 2009. i can understand thanksgiving week off and the week between christmas and new year's off, but not six weeks! the mere fact that they're even considering this is an utter outrage. the american people need congress now more than it has in many generations.

i already let senator harry reid and speaker nancy pelosi know how i feel about this. i sometimes wonder what they added to the "kool aid" in washington.
