Well, the Republicans left behind such huge messes -- deficits, ethics, etc. -- that it will probably take the new majority some time to get things cleaned up and back on track. These bills are probably just "filler" until the Democrats can bring out the important stuff and get the government back to work for the American people.

Better post office naming than program and regulation creation.
