The U.S. Congress and Busy Work
1. Yesterday, I spent time watching Sen. Darrell Issa and his committee doing what is commonly called Busy Work.
What is Busy Work?
In the workplace, many employees find themselves working on busywork, especially in offices with very rigid hours. Some employees actually invent their own busy work so that they appear focused and occupied to their bosses, while some bosses will assign busywork or other fruitless tasks to employees because they don't know what else to do with them. This is common in an office with a fluctuating workload, where employees will sometimes have a lot to do, but are not really needed at other times.

2. Several months ago, Sen. Issa and his committee did more busy work with the sole purpose of staining the reputation of Attorney General Eric Holder. Hearings were conducted under the auspice of finding smuggled weapons.
3. The news was announced a few days ago that for the 38th time, the U. S. Senate is going to spend its time making efforts to repeal ObamaCare.
4. With the U.S. Congress during its busy work, it feeds into our media outlets responding in kind. Both entities benefit from doing nothing and doing it very well. In my Black environment, we call Busy Work "Bullshit-n!"
Congress Approval Remains in a Slump - Gallup.Com
Excerpt:
Congress' approval remained low at 15% in April, and is still at the low end of the historical trend. Americans' low approval likely contributes to their overwhelming support for members of Congress to voluntarily return part of their salary as a result of sequestration.

P.S. I’m watching and enjoying more Judge Judy, 48 Hours, Property Brothers etc., than ever before.
