I think you're misunderstanding the comment you replied to.

The "do nothing congress" was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.

The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That's the comparison the commenter was making.

You are correct, that was my sentiment. The do nothing congress was lauded as one of the laziest congresses, to the point they got the name. But now our current congress does even less than that but doesn't get the ridicule.

Oof. Y'all are correct about the misunderstanding. I apologize for the heated response. Being wrong kinda takes the fire out of my indignation and now I just feel foolish. Thanks for the lesson, y'all

Eh no worries, I get where you were coming from

What a fantastic dialogue. If only every conversation could be like this. We would have not only the Republic we want, but the world we want.

Thank you all for being lights in the darkness.
