Congress Sets Record for Inaction. Who Woulda Thought?

Since the tea-party takeover in 2010, Congress has done less than any Congress since 1947. Surprise, surprise.

Why do anything? It might cost too much.

The funny thing is we got statistics to prove it:

And, of course, this past Congress, 2015-2016, has done the least in the same time frame.

(Thanks, Daily Kos)

Note. Just noticed that the famous Do-Nothing 1947-48 actually did something, comparatively, and the other almost Do-Nothing Congress besides the past three was 1995-96, the famous Gingrich Congress. How 'bout that?

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
