Three Cheers For Our Do-Nothing Congress!

Word has gone out for the media from Certified Smart People: attack the Republican House for being the least productive Congress in decades in terms of the number of bills actually passed.

I'd agree, with one exception: the budget. I have no issues if Congress chooses not to expand the myriad ways in which citizens can become entangled by federal statutes and regulation, but Congress has a constitutional duty to budget each year. It's their most basic function. That should come before all other efforts, excepting true national emergencies.
