For what is worth, I started a new thread regarding a column on Thomas sowell. One of the issues sowell address was the gridlock in Washington. he believes it is of great economic benefit because otherwise Washongton would continue to omplemet these God awful policies.

By the way this congress is probably the least effective in the origination of a bill. They are poorly researched, poorly written and/or poorly drafted, poorly reviewed, if they are reviewed at all and worse yet poorly understood. I guess we can contribute that to our education system
