I was skimming a short article the other day, and it said that this congress has been more productive than any congress in something like 40 years at passing new laws. They have done a tremendous amount.

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.
