Nothing Is Something Sometimes

Reflecting back, I complain a lot about congress doing nothing. But it was recently pointed out to me that the fact that they do nothing means they actually get something done. As oxymoronic as this sounds it is kind of true. They did not act to resolve the fiscal cliff we fell off of, what happened? We got tax hikes and budget cuts. Both of which could eventually lead to a lessening of our deficit. Perhaps these folks are idiot savants. Maybe too we all should do nothing and the problems of the world will resolve themselves....
