DUers with dial-ups or similar slow connections will have a problem with this.
Suggest dial-up warning in subject line.

(273 posts)3. I disagree with the final premise.
That they might not be getting their money's worth due to lack of legislation.
I think the big money has paid to keep everything obstructed. So when the Reps get control, they can push tons of stuff through without being stopped. If they try some of their ideas now, it'll get sunlight, and might be stopped.
If they wait, and just block everybody/everything, they can run the table and we'll hear about the most productive congress in decades...
Otherwise, that's an awesome infographic, thank you for sharing.
