The Best Congress in 30 Years Passed Almost No Bills

All in all, that's an improvement.

December 19, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield

There are signs on construction sites all over New York City that (futilely) warn “Post No Bills”. I’ve always thought those signs belong in Congress instead.

A lot of people complain that Congress doesn’t do anything. All in all, that’s an improvement.

The 118th Congress is on track to be one of the most unproductive in modern history, with just a couple dozen laws on the books at the close of 2023, according to data from data analytics firm Quorum.

Just 20 bills have been passed by both chambers and signed into law this year, with another four currently awaiting President Biden’s signature, according to the Quorum data.

That’s far below even historically unproductive first years: The 104th, 112th and 113th Congresses, in which Republicans controlled one or both chambers with Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in the White House, passed between 70 and 73 laws.

The government that "governs least".... governs best.

Perhaps the less they do, the fewer bills that get passed ... the better for the rest of us.
