Democrats’ Domestic Agenda Hits Gridlock

IMO anyone who favors "gridlock" must be extremely happy with the way the current situation in Washington is developing. The new Democratically controlled Congress has done little. I thought an increase in the minimum wage was a done deal after the November, 2006 elections. I was totally wrong about that. The Democrats seem to be a party comprised of many special interestes lacking a consistent message or vision on very many issues. You could probably say the same things about the Republicans but the Democrats were elected to change things and they've accomplished nothing except perhaps passing non binding resolutions. From the article:

However, that flurry of voting has produced only 26 public laws, 12 of which changed the name of a federal building, post office or national recreation area.

Others changed the makeup of the House Page Board (PL 110-2); reauthorized the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (PL 110-21); extended small-business programs (PL 110-4); and endorsed the expansion of NATO (PL 110-17).
