“This is the most do-nothing Congress in American history. Back in 1948, President Harry Truman dubbed the Congress of that year the ``do-nothing Congress'' after it met for only 101 days. At the end of this week, this Congress will have only met for a total of 79 days. That is 22 days less than the do-nothing Congress of 1948. This is the do-less-than-nothing Congress. And over those 79 days, House Republicans have not passed one piece of meaningful legislation into law. They have been putting on a lot of shows over the last few weeks trying to convince the American people they are actually accomplishing something. Don't believe them. Here is the record. We are days away from a new fiscal year, Congress has not yet passed a budget. Republicans have been saying all year that immigration and border security are their top priority, but we leave this week without a law on either issue. It is no wonder the American people are fed up with Congress. It is time for a change.”
