1947-48 was known, infamously, as the “do-nothing” congress. It was a group focused on just about anything other than working for the people who elected them to office.

The 109th Congress, which ended their two-year run this month, has done their part to challenge the original do-nothing crowd. They met a total of 241 days in two-years, most sessions not bothering to include Mondays or Fridays, much less weekends.

The Democrats, as part of their package of promises, plan to demand a 5-day workweek. While the sentiment is admirable, it strikes me that with the damage Congress seems to do when in session (regardless of who is in power), maybe less really is more☺
