Good News: This Congress could be least productive since 1947

USA Today reports:

Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post World War II era.

Just 61 bills have become law to date in 2012 out of 3,914 bills that have been introduced by lawmakers, or less than 2% of all proposed laws, according to a USA TODAY analysis of records since 1947 kept by the U.S. House Clerk's office.

Establishment outfits like USA Today measure the number of new laws as progress. How pathetic.
