Just how much does the GOP spend of tax payer dollars doing useless things?

5. I have asked My congressman

to get an answer to that very question---I have called the CBO with no luck aside from saying "it costs the same as any other "normal work day in session/on the floor".

"Well, how much is that?"
"look it up".....

7. They are using fuzzy math.

Votes in Congress do not cost anything. Everybody is on salary and are paid whether they are voting or playing golf. Congress has a full time staff that gets paid no matter what is going on or not going on. Utilities and maintenance are paid every day whether people are voting or not.
