Least Productive Congress Since World War II

Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post World War II era, USA Today reports.

"Just 61 bills have become law to date in 2012 out of 3,914 bills that have been introduced by lawmakers, or less than 2% of all proposed laws, according to a USA Today analysis of records since 1947 kept by the U.S. House Clerk's office. "

1. Despite the fact that we're in the worst shape in that time

wrt employment, income disparity, poverty, infrastructure,...

I see a very hard-hitting ad from this.

2. I know. They haven't overturned Obamacare, or banned Sharia law, or made English...

...our official language.

They haven't done any of these important things!

All they care about are jobs jobs jobs.

3. We don't have time for the economy because we're busy passing anti-abortion laws.

4. A truly worthless Congress

and people know it too.
