GIVE THE RIGHT A CONGRESS THAT BUTTS OUT OF OUR LIVES AND THEY WHINE ABOUT IT?:
Congress logs most futile legislative year on record (Stephen Dinan, 1/16/12, The Washington Times)
It's official: Congress ended its least-productive year in modern history after passing 80 bills -- fewer than during any other session since year-end records began being kept in 1947.Furthermore, an analysis by The Washington Times of the scope of such activities as time spent in debate, number of conference reports produced and votes taken on the House and Senate floors found that Congress set a record for legislative futility by accomplishing less in 2011 than any other year in history.
Here in NH we consider it a good thing that the legislature doesn't do much. This is just another mark of how conservative the Obama years are turning out to be.
