Based on 2007 figures and adjusted for inflation, a conservative estimate (sic) is that House Republicans are wasting $3,287,671 today on a “symbolic vote.” This estimate is also based on the House being open for business 365 days of the year, which of course it is not.
Anyone out there wasting that much with symbolic gestures at home today?
Can anyone think of a symbolic gesture they deserve?
By the way, I have a great budget-cutting idea.
