So if they’re saying that the entirety of the 119th Congress counts as only one calendar day, they should only get paid for one calendar day. Right? Their salary would then be $476 to cover the entire two years.
That’s a savings of $347,524 over the course of 2 years, per representative. Or a savings of just under $152 million. That’s what it’s supposed to be about, right? Saving taxpayer money? I’m sure the GOP will be on board with saving hundreds of millions of dollars! They’re only working for one calendar day!

Everyone only needs to pay one day of rent!
One day of car payment.
This needs to be higher up. Obviously this isn’t how it’ll go, but it’s how it would go for a regular old American.
