(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that Congress has been less productive in 2011 under the GOP-controlled House than under the Democrat super majority in 2007, because in their first year in power his colleagues were able to pass more than twice as many bills as Republicans have.

He claimed that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) bears the responsibility of Congress being unproductive in 2011.

“When we took over [in 2007] we were a lot more productive, and we got more bills by a factor of two being signed by a Republican president,â€

Passing more laws is nothing to brag about imo. They don't write or read most of the bills anyway. The more I read the more corrupt I believe our federal government is.

Do the math Piglosi. You had the votes and most bills you did not even read.
