Thanks to a Rethuglican Party that's absolutely committed to thwarting anything proposed by President Obama, this year will go down as the least productive for Congress in American history.  As the Affordable Care Act website improves and gains credibility week by week, and as more Americans are obtaining health insurance (some for the first time), the Rethuglicans will be pressed to offer solutions that go beyond "repeal Obamacare" rhetoric.  Immigration reform, same story.  But when you're scared silly of your reactionary, bigoted and misinformed base as Rethuglican politicians are, "no" is the norm.
