Those who casitgate the House for not doing more, note that they have stopped much bad legislation from being passed.

Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post-World War II era.

Is that supposed to anger or upset me?

RE: Just 61 bills have become law to date in 2012 out of 3,914 bills that have been introduced by lawmakers

And that’s a bad thing?

These statistics make the 112th Congress, covering 2011-12, the least productive two-year gathering on Capitol Hill since the end of World War II.

And makes it the best congress since the end of World War II.

Great! Let’s shoot for 40 next session....all of them repealing The First Dictator’s executive decrees.

Alan Korwin must be the resident leftist @ Ammoland...Why else would anyone consider a Congress that more effectively keeps it’s nose out of our business an “unproductive” event?

Why is it that anyone thinks its a good thing when congress passes new laws?

Are not most acts of congress in fact usurpation of our dwindling pool of reserved right, to say nothing expenditures of our dwindling pool of hard earned money?

Is not there an old wise saying that holds: “No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while congress is in session?”

Frankly I think anyone and everyone who is critical of congress passing few new acts is either nuts or a lover of servitude. Either way I think such a person might find the life on the funny farm more suitable to their interest.
