Quote:The House of Representatives has actually been quite productive.  There's a stack of bills a mile high sitting on the Senate Majority Leader's desk that he refuses to send to the floor, or even to committees to debate.  The logjam in Congress starts and ends on his desk.  I think I read somewhere earlier this week that there are more than 300 bills that are sitting waiting for him to do something, and he's chosen to ignore them. 

 

The republicans have given in on many issues in an attempt to try to get something done only to have it languish in the Senate without ever being reviewed, debated, or voted on.
