Dear Speaker Boehner,
I recently read your comments that Congress should not be judged on how many new laws it creates, but on how many laws it repeals.
Given that this Congress has repealed a total of zero laws, can you tell me what the thinking behind that statement was?
Was it (1) an honest admission that this really IS the worst Congress in history, (2) did you, as Speaker of the House, not actually know how many laws your Congress has repealed, or (3) did you just figure the American public is stupid and nobody would look it up?
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your response as it will help settle a bet with my wife. (She says it's 2, but it's gotta be 3, right? Don't let me down, Mr. Speaker.)
Kisses,
Thad
