Yeah, I saw that bar graph that listed the legislation passed by previous House GOP sessions, going back to 1975. None of it is very impressive, but at least in the past they got something done. Back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's they passed between 3 and 7 percent of legislation brought to the floor for a vote. Like I said, not impressive. Under Bush and Obama it wasn't any better, basically 3%. Trump was 3%, and Biden was 2%. Since the last session January 2023 until now, the House GOP have passed 0%. If you include visa incorporation, it's 1%. We are paying $200k per person a year for this? I want a refund.
