Is the President a Kenyan-born Fudgepacker?
Is Vice President Biden a doofus?
Is Hillary a Lesbian?
Is Putin Hitler?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is there a need to ask if this is the WORST CONGRESS EVER?

The President gets the Congress he deserves.

Congress has in some ways already closed for business until after the mid-term election.

Works for me!

Frankly a Congress that does nothing is the BEST we can have!

May gridlock reign supreme!

The worst Congress ever was the one that passed Obamacare.

> The President gets the Congress he deserves.

And created by sending donations to the RINOs he knew would keep him in power and tilting the electronic voting machines in their favor...seriously there needs to be an investigation on the whole electronic voting process and the auditing process...

But even measures that both parties’ leaders want to get done, such as immigration reform, tax reform and transportation legislation have scant chance of reaching Obama’s desk.

If they've been stymied from putting the above garbage on the backs of America, then something's far better about them than the ObamaCare Congress....so they ain't close to being that bad.

This is BAD, but the worst had to be either the LBJ era or from 2006-2010. Remember Cap and Trade, Obamacare, and the like which passed. 92-94 was bad too. NAFTA, GATT, and gun grabs.

If you have a collectivist president and Senate, all you can do is dig trenches and watch the clock tick away.

It is hard to work with someone who constantly lies to you.

Thank you for referencing that article lbryce. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Given that control of the U.S. mail is one of the few aspects of intrastate commerse that the states have delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, the article's critique of Congress is based on false expectiations as to why the Founding States established Congress in the first place.

Congress has in some ways already closed for business until after the mid-term election.

Yes, Congress is closed for business in certain aspects. But the idea of Congress being closed in certain ways actually reflects the role that the Founders had expected Congress to play in our lives, the states uniquely having the constitutional authority to address citizen's concerns about everyday living.

The problem is that Congress keeps on taxing us anyway, taxing us for services which it has no constitutional authority to address.

A perfect complement for the Worst President Ever. Like a matching set.

“Veteran lawmakers are used to partisanship and stalemate, but they say Capitol Hill has sunk to a new dysfunctional low.”

In the general sense we need to reject the perjorative terms of “sunk” and “dysfunctional” as they tend to be applied, because they way they tend to be applied is in some universal sense that Congress “is supposed to” complete certain reigning poltical agendas that are in vogue, when in fact it is NOT and has not always been in the national interest to do do. There are times when “stalement” has not been “worse” than some so-called “accomplishment” of Congress.

The gop is waiting until after the election to screw conservatives. It’s that simple.

Congress has 10% approval, yet America keeps voting back in 90% of Congress every two years. We need term limits now!

We got the government we deserve.

When’s the last letter I wrote and mailed to my U.S. or state congresscritter? When’s the last local government meeting I went to? School board meeting? Am I fully informed? Do I always vote?
