Maybe if things don’t happen in these legislative bodies the country would be better as a whole. They pass laws when no laws are necessary. The representative realize if they don’t, they’ll be out of a job. But these congressmen need to realize that these positions were never intended to be careers.
The Texas legislature meets on alternate years, for a couple months at a time. The West Virginia legislature meets annually, for less than 2 months at a time. I'm sure some other States are similar.
"Legislator" should be a very part time job. There's really not much work for them to do.
