The video compares the daily routines of a congressman and a slacker who lives irresponsibly and wastes time.
The group says the fact Congress has not passed a budget in three years speaks for itself and shows that Washington prefers to play politics rather than act responsibly.
“Irresponsible is irresponsible, whether it’s a guy who sits at home eating chips in his pajamas everyday or a member of Congress who wears a suit to work but fails to do his or her job,” Gretchen Hamel, executive director of Public Notice Research & Educational Fund. “It’s time for Washington to act responsibly because I definitely don’t want them moving into my basement.”
