The 118th Congress is on track to be the least productive legislative session in recent history as the split chambers have failed to pass very few bills that were signed into law.
Lawmakers in the House and Senate introduced nearly 19,000 bills since convening on Jan. 3, 2023. Yet, only 137 have become public laws, according to data gathered by the National Archives and reviewed by the Washington Examiner. That is less than a 1% success rate and the total is the lowest since at least 1951, which is the earliest year documented in the Library of Congress’s digital archives. MORE
Good.
Good. Lazy bastards failing are better than incompetents propagating.
They say that like it’s a bad thing.
That’s why we need to return to the 1:75,000 ratio (reps to peeps) prescribed by the Constitution – so that they’ll make even less mischief.
19,000 submitted bills?
That’s insane. I suggest that no single Rep or Senator read all that crap.
How about a budget?
How about the Legislature doing what the Legislature is supposed to do?

“Yet, only 137 have become public laws”
What’s the problem with that? We need LESS laws, not more.
Random thoughts: For every law passed, 2 should be repealed. Same with regulations. Term limits: 10 years max ‘public service’ between House & Senate. Assets frozen upon election. 2 Legislative sessions per year lasting 3 months each. Less is more.
