Nancy Gibbs? latest TIME essay lists negative characteristics of the current Congress. It?s too bad she also included this passage:
The 260 laws passed by the 110th Congress represent a 30-year low, and they include the naming of 74 post offices, not to mention the nonbinding resolutions designating July National Watermelon Month and recognizing dirt as an essential natural resource.
Limiting Congress to just 260 laws is a bad thing? Why?
Gibbs seems to be using the same logic that prompted criticism of the Bush administration for protecting only 60 endangered species.
