    Thumbs up Congress man sleeps in his office!

    CNN just show a Utah congressman sleeps on a COTT in his closet! He makes $180K a year, but he has three kids and a wife. He flys home every weekend to see his family- thats paid for from an allowance he gets. He said he thinks more of congress should think about budgeting themselves.
    I think its a GREAT idea. The congress man said that he thinks its a waste of money for what he calls a whole in the wall.. He says hes been woken up by the cleaning people but he will get used to it.. I really think its great!

    I think this sends out a good message. I dont think all congressmen should sleep in their office, but i think this is a good way to remind congressmen that they shouldnt be dropping taxpayer money on ridiculous things like private jets and overpriced hotel rooms.

    Unfortunately they shouldnt be spending it on strippers either .
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Saving possibly tens of dollars a day just so he can be up bright an early and spend billions, genius!

    I saw a news report when I was overseas back in May that members of Parliament, I believe, were doing the same.

    for better or worse, this Utah congressman is the 'exception to the rule'. In general, most members of the US congress are either rich or 'uber-rich'. Thus the thought of saving money ... either their own personal money or the taxpayers' money ... tends to be a foreign concept !
