They are always “working on” things, but they deliver very little.
They don’t get credit with me until they DO it.
“They are always “working on” things, but they deliver very little.”
I agree 100%. My Congresswoman tells me the legislative process is complex and lengthy.
Let’s see, 1 hour to draft a bill ending civil asset forfeiture. One day to review it in committee, make revisions if necessary, and send it to the Speaker to schedule a floor vote. Thirty minutes to hold a floor vote and pass it on to the Senate. One day (or less) for the Senate committee to review it and send to leadership for a floor vote. Thirty minutes for the vote. Bill passed and sent to the President for signature. Presidential signing ceremony 5 minutes. Mission accomplished. Less than 1 week if you really want to get something done.
Conclusions:
1) They don’t want to get something accomplished. Witness repeal of Obamacare which could have been accomplished by simply passing again a bill they had already passed and Obama had vetoed.
2) If they truly can’t work with speed, the institution is incapable of governance in the 21st century and needs to be completely overhauled.
3) The leadership isn’t leading.
