Name one Congressman who is complaining about thir salary (please provide a link) and whose stated work year is 185 days. The quality of what happens in a year may be up for debate but your parallel falls askew.

Are you getting a $3,300 pay raise? Congress will.

"When I tell constituents that our workweek is 2 1/2 days at best, they shake their heads," said Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash. "They wonder what we're doing, and I have to wonder, too." (According to this link, the House is scheduled to work 97 days this year.)

I stand corrected. I guess teachers are the same as Congressmen.

Kind of a Pyhrric victory there, eh?

They aren't just overpaid, they are EXTREMELY overpaid! Luckily we are only supporting 565 of them, plus 100 Senators. Of course, then there is the staff. But apparently they aren't required to pay minimum wage so there may be some offsetting savings there...
