Unfortunately, I did a little research and this was all I was able to find.
Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post World War II era. Just 61 bills have become law to date in 2012 out of 3,914 bills that have been introduced by lawmakers, or less than 2% of all proposed laws, according to a USA TODAY analysis of records since 1947 kept by the U.S. House Clerk's office.
In 2011, after Republicans took control of the U.S. House, Congress passed just 90 bills into law. The only other year in which Congress failed to pass at least 125 laws was 1995.
These statistics make the 112th Congress, covering 2011-12, the least productive two-year gathering on Capitol Hill since the end of World War II. Not even the 80th Congress, which President Truman called the "do-nothing Congress" in 1948, passed as few laws as the current one, records show.
The difference between 1995 and now is that Republicans rebounded in the second year of the 104th Congress in 1996, churning out 245 laws with a Democratic president, including a tax cut package, a minimum wage increase, an overhaul of the nation's welfare system, and requiring law enforcement to disclose where sex offenders live.
Doug Heye, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., defended the chamber, citing over 30 economic measures the House has passed that have fizzled in the Democratic-run Senate "at the behest of a president who is presiding over the worst economic recovery in history."
When Democrats controlled both chambers during the 111th Congress, 258 laws were enacted in 2010 and 125 in 2009, including President Obama's health care law.
The 112th Congress will conclude after Election Day following an anticipated lame duck session. It has been defined by partisan divisions and legislative failures, including a bipartisan "Super Committee" that failed to enact $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction.
Issues on which the divided Congress has not found consensus include the Dec. 31 expiration of the Bush tax cuts and a budget plan to replace $109 billion in automatic spending cuts, a drought-relief plan passed by the House but not the Senate, the extension of the Senate-passed federal farm bill that is languishing in the House and a bill to overhaul the U.S. Postal Service.
The inertia continues to fuel Congress' historically low approval ratings, which hit 10% Tuesday, according to Gallup polling.

That is EXACTLY my point. One is no better than the other. But if you cant agree that things were quite a bit better when w clocked in than when big scary Obama started, well, that is what makes you a wingnut isnt it? We were swirling the tank pretty quckly when Barry checked in remember? Clinton was not responsible for bush's problems. That is the big difference . more jobs have been created during this admin in 4 years than in bush's 8. BUSH......OMG, how do you do that?

After 29 months of allegedly stellar job growth under Obama, the jobless rate is still 8.3%. By this point in the Reagan and Bush jobs recoveries, the unemployment rate was 7.2% and 4.9%, respectively.
Prior to the credit market freeze in September 2008, the highest monthly unemployment rate during President George W. Bush’s two terms was 6.3 percent. The overall average monthly unemployment rate during his 8 years in office was 5.3 percent. The urgency of creating jobs was not there!

I totally agree with you, Obama really does try to help the working and the poor, but they just won't let him do it, like he said, you have to get the money from the people who have it(the rich) but when the rich got wind of that it was hell no, I wish they would just let him help the people the way he wants to, we (the working and poor) would be so much better off, maybe we would have a chance in this rich owned world

Hypothetical situation - You are totally opposed to abortions. You have two congressmen running, one who is anti-abortion and one who is pro-abortion. You vote for the congressman who is anti-abortion and he wins the election. A bill comes before him to legalize abortion and he votes for it. Are you going to feel betrayed by him? Will you vote for him again?????

<quoted text>Obama ..had full control from 2008 to 2010. And he done what with it. Double bushs debt. BUSH. Omg How do you do that....? And if you blame bush for Obama problems then I guess we can blame Clinton for bush's problems. And bush tried to restuctor the banking in America three times but democrats shot him down all three times. The same banks that Obama belled out. Democrats need to set back awhile and let the rep show them how to put ppl to work. And how to use America energy .coal oil and gas..
