Do-nothing Congress

For once, I'm going to somewhat disagree with Georgia10 over at DailyKos. Her (I'm assuming Georgia is a female, perhaps wrongly so) current post discusses the low approval ratings of the Congress and goes on with the following :

Americans are frustrated with this do-nothing Congress. Between Bush's incompetence (best evidenced to ordinary Americans by the Katrina response) to the fact that Congress barely works a few days a week, there seems to be a sense that ours is a nation adrift, with no one a the helm to guide us off this wrong track.

Simply put, Americans crave a functioning government, and this Republican Congress is not functioning. The GOP has had failure after legislative failure, from the embarrassing budget collapse to the fleeting immigration compromise in the Senate.

Maybe she's right, but her apparent desire for an active Congress doesn't appeal to me -- at least not as long as the legislative branch is dominated by the Rethuglicans. The less they do, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I'd be happy to pay them to stay at home right up to the end of their terms.
