Do-Nothing Congress Whines About Emergency

There's a lot of whining and wailing going on here from Wisconsin (R) folks over Trump's emergency declaration.

Ron Johnson gets it about half-right:

...Ron Johnson, who chairs the Senate homeland security committee, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that, “past Congresses have given any executive, any administration, way too much power....

The other half?  Congress specializes in doing NOTHING--laying off all responsibility to agencies and departments as well as Presidents--so that they can get re-elected.  Another way to phrase it:  Congressmen actively AVOID doing the right thing.

Paul Ryan knows all the ways to get nothing done while posing for holy pictures, just like Mitch McConnell.

By the way, RoJo voted FOR this 'continuing resolution'--the one which provides NOTHING for a wall and jacks up the national debt, again.
