As Congress lurches into its August break, Politico takes note of what the teabaggy Republican majority has accomplished:

Here’s what they will have on the scoreboard before the election: a Senate-driven, two-year highway bill; a six-month extension of government spending at levels they’ve all decried as too high; and no farm bill.

They haven’t completely reformed the Tax Code, they haven’t made a dent in the national debt, and the government isn’t appreciably smaller or more efficient than it was when they were sworn in. And instead of dismantling the president’s health care overhaul, they watched the Senate sit on their repeal effort and the Supreme Court lend its imprimatur to the law.

Go read the whole piece. It's got some great explanations from Republicans about why their big plans of 2010 didn't work out. (Legislating is really hard work, you guys.)
