So the question about "effectiveness" is really phrased wrong. Congress is extremely effective this year. I think the question is whether they can work together in a bipartisan way to pass laws that are good for the country as a whole and not just some special interest.

Wasteful would be a better description. Big Government is not the answer. Sure they have been productive, productively destructive to our future. The latest scheme is to print more money and have the Federal Reserve feed it to the system to "stimulate" the economy, talk about weakening the dollar. Zimbabwe did the same thing.
