Farmers, Plumbers.

I guess just about everyone who works for a living providing necessary services without which we could not survive.

We COULD survive with the average member of Congress.

She deposits it in a sand box and buries it, out of courtesy to me. I wish the Congress was so polite but they are not.

He's produced AT LEAST five jobs - the three people who run the jail he keeps getting thrown in, the clerk at the liquor store and the street maintenance guy who takes him to his house at the end of the day.

I have a problem with this thread - the concept there's any "value" in the two things the average congressman produces, which are names for post offices and futile attempts to repeal legislation.
