Congress is ready to do even less than usual with the August recess coming up. The recess is an artifact of the time before air conditioners when Washington DC lived up to its reputation as a sub-tropical swamp. Legislators and lobbyists alike fled to their home districts, especially those with mountains to sit out the rest of the summer.'
With A/C, there is no excuse to avoid the climate. Congress Critters instead plead "constituent services" as the excuse for ducking the peoples' business for at least a month. Democrats especially are egregiously shameless as they are looking at losing their majorities in the House and possibly the Senate. The death of serious governance is around the corner and instead of using every possible minute to pass legislation, Democrats are literally heading for the hills. WTF!
