As the least productive EVER?
The 112th Congress has passed only 219 bills...which could be a 'do nothing' record. The current 'do nothing' record is held by the 104th Congress who passed 333 bills in the 1990s. Harry Truman famously ran against a 'do nothing' Congress in the 40s, the 80th Congress. They had passed over 900 bills.
So, unless the 112th passes a shitload of bills in the next few days, they will find themselves a place in the history books, but not for anything good.
Is it any wonder that under the Boehner's leadership, Congress has an approval rating below syphilis?
I guess it never dawned on you that Congress is made up of the House and the Senate. With the majority party being democrat. I realize that since the left has nothing positive to run on they must run down their opponents but at least interject a little bit of honesty.
Besides why is passing bills a measure of success? I think with 2/3 of the government dominated by democrats the economy is enough of an indicator that they are not too successful.
