A very productive Congress

Despite what political attacks say and mainstream media tries to sensationalize, the facts stand on their own merit. Congress has been very effective for the American people in the past year.

Don't just compare the 2009 Congress to the do-nothing Congress of 2001-2006, compare them to history.

This Democratic Congress is on a path to become one of the most productive since the Great Society 89th Congress in 1965-66, and Obama already has the most legislative success of any modern president -- and that includes Ronald Reagan and Lyndon Johnson. The deep dysfunction of our politics may have produced public disdain, but it has also delivered record accomplishment.
