The most partisan, least productive Congress in memory is bolting Washington for the campaign trail, leaving in its wake a pile of unfinished business on the budget and taxes, farm policy, and legislation to save the Postal Service from insolvency.


The GOP-controlled House beat its retreat Friday morning after one last, futile slap at President Obama - passing a bill titled the Stop the War on Coal Act.


The measure, dead on arrival with Obama and the Senate, would block the government from policing greenhouse gas emissions and give states regulatory control over the disposal of harmful coal byproducts.


The approval rating for the current Congress in a Gallup poll this month sank to just 13 percent, the lowest ever for an election year.


The GOP-controlled House and Democratic Senate managed to come together with Obama to enact just 173 laws. More are coming after the election, but the current tally is roughly half the output of a typical Congress.

Mitt Romney, speaking to donors in Boca Raton, Fla., washed his hands of almost half the country — the 47 percent who don’t pay income taxes — declaring, "My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."


By now, also, many people are aware that the great bulk of the 47 percent are hardly moochers; most are working families who pay payroll taxes, and elderly or disabled Americans make up a majority of the rest.

When they get back after the election, they'll start working on Repealing the 14 Amendment...which will free up the states the tyranny of due process.
 
President Barack Obama is faulting Congress for leaving town with several pieces of unfinished business on its plate, including measures to help veterans, farmers and homeowners.


He says lawmakers missed opportunities to help the economy and wants them to come back in November to finish work on a veterans’ job plan, farm policy and helping homeowners refinance.


Obama accuses lawmakers of being “more worried about their jobs and their paychecks” than their constituents.


Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions says if given the chance, Republicans will get the government “under control.”

Only 173 laws? Fucking awesome. Maybe we can get it down to 5 in the next Congress? Do you really think we need more laws?

I think my question was pretty clear. Do we need anymore laws?

I don't get the question. Are you saying republicans are wasting their time repealing laws and writing new laws to stop the old laws?

Cuz, now I agree the republcians are a waste to our government, having done NOTHING but that the last 4 years and before that for 12 years just writing laws to take away taxes for the rich and get jobs overseas and other laws that repealed the laws already on the books.

Republcians are a complete waste in the Government is what you're saying. I'im impressed, but surprised.

he also forgot soldiers in combat zones that are exempt from income taxes
 
Paul Ryan (R-WI) was asked to respond to Vice President Joe Biden talking about the obstruction we've seen from Republicans where they are refusing to work with Democrats on job creation.


Ryan responded by making the absurd claim that they've already passed "over a dozen pieces" of "jobs legislation" in the House.


If his idea of "jobs legislation" that he's touting here -- more of the same tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation -- work so well, why weren't at full employment when George W. Bush left office instead of purging around 700,000 jobs a month?
