Lame duck congress......more like a 3-ring circus. Watching them pick the most important, high priority items to work on is a joke.
OK, they passed some meat or food bill in the house......important, but was it crucial to get done before the end of the session?
How about the problem of the country not functioning after Friday....isn't that important enough??? That should be your singular focus right now. How about the Bush tax cuts?? Businesses would like to plan but can't because of your ho-humness.
