Members of Congress started a five-week summer recess on Monday that most Americans don’t think they deserve.
A new Fox News national poll finds 82 percent of voters think Congress hasn’t worked hard enough to take the month of August off. Just 14 percent think lawmakers deserve the break (some might joke this group must be their friends and family).

Voters are more approving of President Obama taking a week’s vacation later this month, yet views are still mixed: 48 percent think he’s worked hard enough to deserve the break, while 48 percent disagree.
They should be required to give back there paychecks for the year.
