Normally governmental inactivity is a good thing.
I think this bespeaks the impotence of Pelosi's congress. If she could get things done, she would; but she can't so to risk anything would prove too embarrassing. So it's better to sit idle.
Who'd've thunk that a conservative electorate could stymie the liberals into silencing their own blue dogs when even the RINOs would capitulate.
We live in interesting times.
I agree wholeheartedly - under normal circumstances. Normally, a congress that has done nothing means that the American taxpayer's wallet is safe for now.
This time however, we have countries that are demonstrably not our allies taking advantage of the fact that NeoComs masquerading as environmentalists have Congress and regulatory agencies by the short curlies when it comes to domestic energy production in any form. It would be nice if the 535 dipshits could pull their heads out, just long enough to take a machete to the overgrown rainforest of red tape that stands between us and the wealth of natural resources that could keep this country independent of these theocracies, dictatorships and juntas that do not have our nation's best interests at heart. By all means, don't leave the environment unprotected; make sure that these firms know that while Congress is stepping out of the way for the public good, they'll bring the hammer down like the wrath of God himself if an "accident" happens that can be proven to be the result of negligence of best industry practices and procedures.
This time we have an invasion force of 20 million illegal aliens occupying our territory with impugnity, drug smugglers kidnapping US citizens and re-crossing the southern border with them, torturing, raping, and frequently killing them without consequence, and a US Border Patrol that is under-funded, under-equipped, under-manned, over-worked and under-mined by Elected officials charged with securing the nation's borders, all in the name of "International Relations" with one of the most corrupt regimes in modern memory. It would be nice if the Congress could find a moment or two in their
BUSY schedule
to shift precious taxpayer dollars from National Endowment for the Arts handouts and infamous Bridges to nowhere, to supply, man and equip the Border Patrol in a manner which addresses the changed nature of the threat these men and women are trying desperately to shield their brother and sister Americans from. A congress that was interested in taking the basic structure of the NICS for firearms purchases, and creating a copy of it suitable to administrate document and identity verification for employers, and then drastically ramping up the fines and imprisonment to be imposed upon those modern day slavemasters who continue to employ illegal aliens would be appreciated as well; if they could squeeze it in, of course.
I didn't elect my congress-shits to spend exorbitant amounts of my taxpayer dollars renaming post offices, or naming
ANOTHER federal building after Chuckie Schumer of Robert "Sheets" Byrd, while the real, IMPORTANT business of my country went undone.
