The 110th Congress, whose term officially ends in January, hasn't passed any spending bills or attacked high gasoline prices. But it has used its powers to celebrate watermelons and to decree the origins of the word "baseball."
Barring a burst of legislative activity after Labor Day, this group of 535 men and women will have accomplished a rare feat. In two decades of record keeping, no sitting Congress has passed fewer public laws at this point in the session -- 294 so far -- than this one. That's not to say they've been idle. On the flip side, no Congress in the same 20 years has been so prolific when it comes to proposing resolutions -- more than 1,900, according to a tally by the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense
Here is what you get when you elect Dems...a lot of stuff about feelings and no substance....hey, sounds a lot like their Presidential candidate...

I think that zero new laws is just fine.
In fact, Congress should UN-pass a minimum of 10% of public laws per session.
I was kind of wondering why a good conservative would be upset at fewer laws..seems a bit out of character but time after time it becomes obvious the rightists(with the exception of ol dad there) have no core. Makes it hard to take you seriously when you flip flop just so you can attack.
Just showing how Dems care more about feelings and making people feel good with resolutions that do nothing than actually working hard and getting things done...typical liberalism..
Like a flag burning constitutional amendment or kerfuffles over flag pins or hand over your heart? Or marriage amendments and such. Oh patriotism is not about feelings and we all know there is out and out facts connected with Religon no emotionalism there, that is why so many religous people are in universal agreement on nearly everything...sorry.
I'm not really sure what kind of progress you think the radical rightists that runs the country made but I have a feeling we would disagree it was progress.
