So, does this mean we can bill Mitch McConnell for all the work that the Senate hasn't gotten done because he's too busy filibustering? And levy an "Obamacare Repeal Tax" on every meaningless attempt to repeal Obamacare?

But I guess it's okay to use taxpayers' money and build big government when it comes to their pet causes like pro-forced birth and anti-equal marriage.
