How about Harry Reid sitting on over 300 bills that the House sent to the Senate ?

Those don't count. Only bills that the left will rubberstamp are considered progress or worthwhile. Defunding something that the large majority of the public didn't want in the first place is worthless - liberal logic.

And look, more deflection.

To be fair then its all "harry reid is blocking!"

How many of them would pass through that he is blocking?

Congress is worthless, and all I hear is excuses, and blaming the other guy. Heres a clue-I blame both parties, you should too.

Reid has reportedly refused to bring up 356, so after these 56, there are about 300 more to go.

Given party politics, he's probably doing us a favor though. We probably shouldn't complain about them not passing bills.

I like when Congress gets nothing done.

Whenever they do something it hurts my posterior...(my wallet).

Need to dump all the GOP Congressman who keep wanting to take this country backwards...ACA isn't perfect, so instead of trying to end it, try and make it better.

How about focus on a jobs bill or renewable energy bills, or immigration reform.

That was their argument about the existing healthcare system, but the left wouldn't consider that. They created a monstrosity and crammed it through without even knowing what was in it, and people are supposed to congratulate them for it? That's absolutely irresponsible.

Those are in that stack of 300 on Mr. Reid's desk.

I'm no supporter of the ACA either, but wasting time on 56 bills that you know won't pass? What a worthless bunch of leeches.
And what is it that you really want Congress to do? Increase taxes? Start up more agencies? Spend more money? And have considered the number of bills sitting on the desk of Harry Reid, the guy who runs the Senate? The House has done more than spend time on PrezzyCare but Harry Reid won't let the Senate vote on bills forwarded from the House.

With a non-functioning Senate what is it you think the House should be doing?

Yes..I hope they work on immigration reform, because the open borders policy is hurting America. We should close up the borders as tight as possible and deport illegals quickly....so yes I support immigration reform....

Renewable energy bills? I think we learned our lesson with Solyndra..

A Chevy will never be a Ferrari, no matter how many fender flares and modified exhaust pipes you put on it.

If you want a Ferrari, you get a Ferrari. You don't start with a broken down Chevy and then try to make it perform like an Italian supercar.
