Why Has The United States Congress Passed Very Little Legislation In The Last Close To 10 Years?

The United States Congress has passed very little legislation in the last close to 10 years because the incentives that now face the United States Senate and the United States House are so pathological. Most of them if they were to take a principled position would lose the primary because the parties are so extreme. Voters have very little information. In primaries maybe 15 or 20 percent of the population turns out and the voters are the least informed and most ideological.
