Not because they don't want it, but because they have no alternative. Everyday in this country thousands of people lose the health insurance they had from their employers because the cost is just too high to keep. Everyday in this country people go broke trying to hang on to all of the services they believe they need. To have a roof over their heads, or food on their tables, or a treatment that some insurance company said they would not allow. Everyday in this country people are forced into bankruptcy because the illness they have keeps them from working and the insurance CEO says “NO”, you will not be covered for a necessary test, or treatment, or medicine even though it is needed. Is it more important for Congress to take their vacations than it is to help to end the suffrage that has been going on for far too many constituents for years? Really, does Congress need a vacation more than the people who need a universal healthcare and a true healthcare reform for all the people?

The final word of John Nance Garner's assessment of the office of the vice president was piss.
