our lawmakers are getting paid even as a hundreds
of congressional staffers were sent home packing towards were turned away from

as well as the korean memorial
on and on and on and on as a %uh you know not even is crazy to me
in not even a service the keep the capital going open the cafeteria is
closed
the underground parking garage in the house and senate buildings are closed
the the people who keep the ground the capital or have been put on furlough
happened a lot of individuals half their staff hasn't put on furlough
but members of Congress to continue to make their money no matter what
in under the 27 though the Constitution lawmakers can only change to pay over

get paid
arms and four thousand dollars a year and a handful with his make twenty
thousand dollars more than that even though
our government is shot down
met crazy so they shut the government down
yet still they make they get sick on a Patek
as 800,000 Americans suffer
because they cannot work are they cannot go to work now
we're talking about a lot of folks and let me get let's break this down and
this goes for office by of its own and senator Saxby Chambliss his office
all but four of its thirty employees in his Washington office were sent home
