Time in a house with no roof

       Imagine if you will, a house without a roof. Add to that the fact that no one temporarily living there seems concerned that the roof is gone. I should also add that the residents do not own the house and are paid by the owners full room and board and living expenses. Furthermore, the residents appear to only be concerned about things such as picture placement in the rooms and the quality of the china they eat their meals on.  When the owners do come around the inhabitants seldom even make note of the visit. Now the question is, whose fault is it that the house has no roof? Welcome to the legislative branch of the American government and the fault that the house has no roof is yours!
