This is the last, desperate gasp of the Journo-List set. It has appeared in a few different stories, but they use the same quote. This is "the most productive Congress in history."
The time is long past when these people can play with words and expect people to fall in line. Postmodernist thought taught at every university teaches liberals and leftists how to play with language to manipulate assumptions. Conservatives took those classes too. Even those that did not will not be fooled again by such blatant foolishness.
"Most productive Congress in history." I remember when I was younger, my little brother decided to make French toast on his own. He was probably six. He used one or two eggs, half a gallon of milk, and 3/4 of a loaf of bread. Of course he had no idea what the egg to milk ratio ought to be, turned up the stove too high, and basically ended up with a mess. A productive morning it certainly was. It also cost a lot of resources. It was definitely unprecedented. But was it a good idea, or should he have just left well enough alone for the time being?
This Congress has done a lot, but your average manure distributor has created more useful product. More taxes, rules, regulations, and bureaucracy are laying waste to our economy. What would really be productive would be a requirement that federal regulations be streamlined, trimmed, and eliminated every so often. Let's have a mandate that 10% of federal regulations be cut every two years. We would probably be surprised how much smoother the country would function.
The more Congress does, the worse it gets for all of us.
