Congress is setting a record for do-nothingness this year

[Bo-4]

Gettin' 'er done per usual eh? Why don't they just stay home and do nothing for half of what we pay them. I'll volunteer for that job!

WASHINGTON — If you ask Republicans what’s the most significant piece of legislation they’ve passed this year, you’re unlikely to get a quick, definitive response.

“I’d have to give it some thought,” Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) said Friday.

“I’d have to go back and look,” Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) said earlier this week.

“We’re changing America,” Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said with a laugh, in response to a question about Congress filling its days by renaming post offices and designating the bison as the national mammal.

Lawmakers left town Friday not having acted on legislation to help Puerto Rico, not having done a budget and not completed action on a single appropriations bill.

Well there's a predictable response. Any post offices you'd like to rename "Reagan"?

That was LAST year. Here's their major accomplishment for this one.

Congress tends to introduce fewer bills during election years.

Actually since both houses are republican dominated at the moment I'm kinda glad they aren't doing anything.

They can't as long as Obama has the veto pen.

It would be nice to fill a few of a record number of judicial vacancies.

The case backup in our federal court system is horrendous.

Why do we pay them to do nothing and show up maybe 2 days a week?

They will all get filled next year and the do-nothing republicans won't have a say after their huge loss in November.
