Got this from another board btw its a rep board albiet a dem named Indy posted it . It would behoove you to stop posting how the dems have done nothing in the house in a short period .

"Hey wingnuts - everyday you're asking how many bills were passed by Nancy's House in the first 100 days... well here ya go. Looks like in 100 days they did 10x what the GOP CONgress managed in SIX YEARS. Read it and weep...
Honest Leadership and Open Government legislation -banning lobbyist funded gifts and travel, and opening the legislative process to allow participation by the minority.

Legislation bringing Fiscal Responsibility by mandating PAY-GO budgeting, and Fiscal Transparency, meaning Congress will require members to identify their earmarks and that we don't spend more than what we are bringing in.

Legislation implementing the 9/11 Commission's recommendations to improve aviation and port security, border and infrastructure security.

Legislation raising the Minimum Wage for 13 million Americans.

Legislation to increase the number of stem cell lines so that American scientists can work on life saving medical research here at home.

Legislation to cut the interest rates in half on student loans for over ~ million students.

Legislation requiring Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for millions of seniors.

Legislation that rolls back federal subsidies for Big Oil companies and instead invests that money in alternative energy that would reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.

LOL! "
