Where Bills Go To Die

Not to beat a dead horse, but can we not agree there’s something seriously wrong with the US Senate? Senators are literally not doing their jobs anymore!

The Hill has a list of the 290 — yes, 290 — bills the House passed that the Senate has not yet acted on. Not “not passed.” These are bills the Senate has done nothing about, including quite a bit of major legislation. This is not even to mention, as Pareene does, the dozens of federal nominees the Senate has exclusive authority to confirm that it isn’t bothering doing anything about.

I know it’s an election year and all, but what exactly are these people doing with their time and on the taxpayer’s dime?
