The average American working person gets 10 days off a year. The average European gets 26 days off and the average German worker gets 30 days off. President Bush took the entire month of August off for vacation. Our elected congressional officials get 5 weeks of vacation and they "recess" for the enitre winter! Here's a look at how your work year compares to theirs.

Is this fair? Shouldn't the lawmakers of this country work just as hard as the rest of us? If they give themselves 5 weeks of vacation and the entire winter off then shouldn't every working American get the same?
