Considered by who? By which metric?
- Alupis 2y ago[flagged]
- rstat1 2y ago>By one-sided political propaganda Yea because things are only factual if they agree with your chosen team policies. Metrics on how many bills this congress has passed by this point in term vs previous ones are not hard to find. But you'd just dismiss that as "political propaganda" because it disagrees with you.
- Alupis 2y agoWhat do these metrics measure? Productiveness - no. Consensus? Yes. Which means... there is a lack of consensus currently. That's how it is supposed to work.
- ImJamal 2y agoProgress for the sake of progress is dumb. If Congress passed 1 million new laws it would be progress, but would anybody want that?
- bnj 2y agoHere’s one about bills passed: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/03/donna-brazile/is-the-current-congress-the-least-productive-of-ou/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/03/donna-braz...
- pdonis 2y ago> Here’s one about bills passed Judging a legislature by how many bills it passes is like judging programming productivity by lines of code produced, and has the same issue that Edsger Dijkstra identified with the latter: it should be lines spent, not produced. "The current wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger."
