The Greatest Do Nothing Congress in the Last Twenty Years

 The Democrats dubbed the 109th congress, led by Republicans, as the do nothing congress but it appears as though the current congress has done less than any other congress in the last twenty years.

 Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats have managed to do something, just look at this list:

Congress has saluted such milestones as the Idaho Potato Commission’s 70th anniversary and recognized soil as an “essential natural resource.”

Congress has designated May 5-9 as National Substitute Teacher Recognition Week, and set July 28 as the Day of the American Cowboy.

But that isn’t all they accomplished:

Democratic Rep. Charlie Wilson of Ohio, a fourth-generation undertaker, sponsored a National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, whose home state of Georgia has 24,000 acres planted in watermelon, pushed a resolution establishing July as National Watermelon Month.

 While all of this was going on the congress only passed 294 bills, most of them were symbolic, far less than any other congress in the last twenty years. I guess I should be counting my blessings that only 294 bill have been passed under this Democrat led congress, any more would be devastating.
