Do you think the Movers and Shakers (Republicans) in the House now will actually get things done that Dems ignored?

Someone made the comment that congress actually worked in the Capital for the first time in TWO YEARS when they were voting for Speaker of the House. How true. The Democratic congress hasn't done work in two years! Now they will have to actually work now that the Republicans have the House. They shouldn't have been paid for those two years!

One can only hope!
The Democrats were after Trump for two years. Hopefully the Republicans are quicker going after Biden and accomplish something for the good of the USA.

I sure as fuck hope so!!!

I do t think congress should be paid anymore. In the early days when people had to work or starve, then devoting your life full time to politics needed a salary. But ever since it became a millionaires club, I don't think that they need a salary on top of their graft corruption and kickbacks and pay to play schemes.

They seem to be off to a good start. They can only do so much. Too bad they didn't take the senate too.

I would not count on things changing much. In politics, parties should REALLY be called either The Government or The Opposition. NEITHER is better just opposite.

The only thing they will do is launch absurd investigations into Democrats like Joe Biden. They won't do anything to benefit American citizens.

You need the White House to actually get things done, at least in a big scale.

Having the House and a split senate doesn't get much done.

Nope. nothing they propose will make it past the senate/oval office.

Probably not, but it is always hard to get things done with a divided government. Then again, that was by design.
