McConnell Lauds a Do-Little Congress

[Free Vulcan]

After earning plaudits for canceling their August recess to work, the Senate came back into session this week for the first time since August 1. They gaveled in to vote at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and had ended votes for the week by Thursday afternoon at 2:00, less than 24 hours later. For those keeping track, the Senate has worked all of two days so far this month. (That hasn’t stopped senators from complaining about their canceled break, however.)

The story of the Senate’s August—particularly the disparity between the commitments made and the actual results—is the story of this Senate, writ small: Big phenomenal promises! Itty bitty outcomes.

This became all the more evident this week when, during their brief foray into the working world, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell handed out a palm card (PDF) to members of his conference, touting the major accomplishments of the Senate during the 115th Congress.

If the Republican Party gets royally trounced in November, it will be well-deserved, and McConnell will have earned the indifference and contempt he has sown for them.

I certainly will never be voting for another Republican again.

It's a party that either needs to die and go the way of the Whigs, or get folded into the Democrat party where it has performed in unity for nearly a decade while pretending they were an opposition party to Obama.

They are now just become a tax-and-spend-with-little-to-show-for-their-leadership party.

It seems a good portion of the American population has accepted substandard do little government.  They laud small victories.  I remember how Clinton was known for his great economy until everyone lost their jobs to outsourcing and downsizing.  I really would like to know what kind of deals Trump was making with Mexico?  Should have been a game stopper until the wall is built.
