Our congress has had a reputation for gridlock and inefficiency for years. However, the 2015 SimCong Domestic Committee is proving the pundits wrong. After only two days of committee, members have passed three bills. HR 10, a bill about common core education was passed with only a few amendments, and HR 24, Speaker McCarthy's Veteran's Mental Health bill, was passed unanimously on the first day of committee.
One measure of efficiency in congress is certainly the amount of bills that get passed. However, the American public has been raising concerns that the substance of the bills is a bit lacking.
"It's good to see things moving in congress again, but I just feel like none of these bills really do anything to help Joe the plumber" said Joe the plumber. "I wish I saw more impactful changes coming out of our leaders."
We will have to wait and see what happens in the coming weeks. All eyes are on the GOP to see if they can make some important changes to our legislative system.
