WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE...HELLO!!!!
WE ARE GOING TO WAR. IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND FACING A HOSTILE RUSSIA.
IMMIGRATION IS A MESS.
THE NEXT ROUND OF ACA IS AROUND THE CORNER.
JOB BILLS LANGUISH.
Today John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, with the support of his party's leadership abruptly recessed until the week after the November 6 elections. The Senate Leadership headed by Mitch McConnell, unable to do much of anything without the House, followed their lead and recessed as well. Both were scheduled to work another two weeks into the first week of October.
WHAT ARE THEY BEING PAID FOR? WHO ARE THEY ACCOUNTABLE TO?
They recessed after having worked two, four day weeks, averaging five hours each day in the last two weeks having just returned from a five week summer recess.
In that the average work week in the House under Mr. Boehner has been Tuesday late afternoon through Thursday afternoon- 3 day work week (if one is generous in counting hours) this is not surprising but it remains disgusting.
This is despicable.
They leave Washington DC in the hands of a President who one side derides as a despot and the other fails to support.
WE HAVE SO MANY NATIONAL PRIORITIES AND THESE JACKASSES PUT THEIR ELECTIONS, THEIR CAREERS AHEAD OF THEIR DUTY.
Congress on Track to be Least Productive in Modern History
By Mark Murray
The 113th Congress remains on track to be arguably the least productive Congress in modern history, according to the best available statistics on legislation that has been enacted into law.
With it about to depart on its five-week August recess, just 142 public bills have become law in this current Congress (2013-2014) – down from the 906 the 80th “Do-Nothing” Congress passed in 1947-48, and the 333 that were enacted during the Newt Gingrich-led 104th Congress of 1995-96.
At this same point in the last Congress (2011-2012) – which set the record for fewest bills passed into public law in the modern era – 151 bills had become law.
