If measured by the number of bills signed into law, the 118th Congress was by far the most unproductive since at least the 1980s, according to data from public affairs firm Quorum.

Yes, but they got in a lot of zingers at Dems, Libs and Lefties in general. And don't forget those jokes about Elizabeth Warren! Sadly, a large portion of those who elected these do-nothings couldn't tell that little was done on their behalf...

The US is now governed by temporary executive orders, not laws. Lewzer ranted for years about Obama using executive orders because he didn't know how to make deals and then he signed 220 of them himself. He'll probably sign 220 more in January alone.

Fewest laws in decades? Considering who they are, it's hard to see this as a bad thing.

Considering the laws needed to get through a Democratic senate and a Democratic president you are right.

Good. IMO the fewer new laws the better.

The Democratic senate and a Democratic president thank you for your support.

@#10 ... that is great news! ...

Why?

Apparently you do not think that Pres Biden's 117th Congress Infrastructure Act is not a worthwhile piece of legislation?
