While Rome burns, Congress is wasting its time honoring crappy beverages like Cheerwine

It seems like regardless of party we should all be able to agree that government should be more efficient. Likewise, it seems like, regardless of political affiliation, we should also agree government is currently as efficient as a president trying to evade national scandal within his first year in office. The United States isn't actually Rome and maybe it's not really burning, yet with all the responsibilities Congress juggles, they often spend their time on pointless issues like passing inconsequential resolutions. This week saw one of the stupidest ones yet.
Ever had Cheerwine? On Wednesday Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., introduced a formal resolution honoring the 100-year anniversary of Cheerwine, a beverage created in 1917 originating from his district. The resolution makes sure to mention that Presidents Eisenhower and George H.W. Bush appreciated the beverage.
