How can being a Congressman be considered work?

They took off most of the summer and have now left until November 12. So, our leaders have had a vacation for about 3.5 months this year. When they were 'working', they did little. They have passed only 163 bills since they took office in 2012. Only 108 were considered substantive by Pew Research.

You're probably too young to remember the "Do Nothing Congress" castigated by Harry Truman. They passed over 900 laws in their two-year term.
