Most people holding down a full-time job at a handsome salary would show up for work five days a week. But members of the U.S. House aren't like most people.

Members met only late Tuesday through mid-Thursday most weeks this year. They will be paid $165,200, courtesy of the taxpayers. Not bad for part-time work.

Had they spent more time at the Capitol, members might have accomplished more. For starters, Congress might have finished work on this year's federal budget, its most basic responsibility.

As of Friday, when Congress adjourned for the year, members will have spent just 103 days in session — seven fewer than the notorious "Do-Nothing Congress" of 1948.

Call this gang the "Do-Less-Than-Nothing Congress."
