Congress – Examples of why it is Broke

Example:

House adjourned September 29, 2010

House will reconvene on November 15, 2010

New Congress sworn in on January 19, 2011

There will be limited number of legislative days during the “lame duck” session.

So……………… 4-months with limited legislative activity while us “worker bees” and 26,000,000 Americans wanting to work are left holding the bag.

Don’t you think something needs to be done about how Congress works and reacts to We the People? Terms limits would be a start.

Example:

HR 2853 was introduced in the House on June 12, 2009 states: “To require the purchase of domestically made flags of the United States of America for use by the Federal government”

Passed by the House on September 29, 2010 --- 15 months after the bill was introduced!

It just seems to me:
(1) Why do we need this bill in the first place – the Federal government should be buying American flags made in the USA without being told to and
(2) Why did it take so long to pass this legislation?
