Over 200 bills are stalled awaiting action in the Republican-controlled Senate, according to a story at The Hill.
That's nothing compared to 2010 when the Democrats ran the whole show. Over 400 bills languished then unactioned in the Senate.
The problem isn't a bug, it's a feature.
The Senate is designed to slow things down. But the Senate sets its own rules, and could speed things along by changing them without doing any offense to anything except the tradition of doing as little as possible. And generally speaking, the less they do the better, since what they produce sucks most of the time.
