The most “do-nothing” Congress of all

Kinda makes its seem hypocritical for our politicians to criticize the new Iraq Government. This info is from GovTrack:


Does it seem like Congress is getting less done than usual this
year? Well, it’s true. Congress has enacted fewer bills in the last six months
than in any first-six-months period after an election going back at least to
1993. I don’t have bill data going further back than that, so I don’t know just
how “do-nothing” our Congress is. We’ve had 42 enacted bills so far this year,
compared to the average of 94 for the similar time periods in the previous seven
Congresses — so about half as much.



There's more statistics in the Post. Go read them and weep.
