The cynic in me would like to point out that the number of bills passed by any given Congress is not necessarily correlated with achieving functional and valuable results.
Personally, I’d rather see only a dozen well-crafted bi-partisan bills to deal with this country’s serious problems (for instance, homelessness, gun violence, affordable health care, the federal deficit, and immigration) than 300 partisan-hack bills that got written more for political points and the voting base back home (“Look at how many bills I co-authored! I’m working for YOU!!!”).
The realist in me understands my personal desire is no more than a fleeting dream.
Above you say: “own the libs” and curry favor with the rubes is MAGATs in a nutshell. Cruelty, violence and stupidity are points of pride in that world.”
They think those three characteristics demonstrate how “manly” they are. In truth, it shows what ass-hats they are.
I’m trying to exercise the power of positive thinking, but I realize there are no guarantees. As my grandmother liked to tell me, “If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.”
Agreed – good point.
