On this day, as on every day, we should be working toward a better future for America. Yet, by almost any measure, days in session, committee markups held, bills voted on or signed into law, this is one of the least productive Congresses in more than half a century, by design. Everyone knew last year times would be tough, but despite that, the House Republicans who control the schedule scheduled a year of congressional inaction.

With just days left in this congressional session, let's get to work. ____________________
