Has anyone ever done a documentary on a USA senator or congressman to see how they earn their pay check?

Question

Be interesting to see if the American public gets what it pays for.

Answer 1

Can't think of one...

However having worked in politics, I can tell you that Congressmen and Senators actually do an incredibly large amount of work...

Answer 2

Fox News Chanel

Answer 3

Farenheit 9/11 kind of made an example of that!

Answer 4

they really don't have to do much to earn a paycheck

Answer 5

You don't need a documentery to see that. Just look at what they haven't fixed yet versus what they have fixed and how much pork barrell items they are lobbying for. Then you'll have the answer. Do we get what we pay for? If a business man run his own business the way politicans do, he'd go bankrupt pretty quick.Try putting Congress and the senate on minimum wage and watch the rats abandon ship.

Answer 6

I have not seen any documentaries but I have read magazine articles on this.

The fact of the matter is that Members of Congress typically work 12-14 hour days, six days a week.
