Congress is functioning the way the Founding Fathers intended-not very well. They understood that if you move too quickly, our democracy will be less responsible to the majority.

I don't think it's the function of Congress to function well. It should drag its heels on the way to decision.
我不认为国会的职能是运作良好。在做出决定的过程中，它应该不顾一切。
Women do two thirds of the world's work. Yet they earn only one tenth of the world's income and own less than one percent of the world's property. They are among the poorest of the world's poor.
女人做了世界上三分之二的工作。然而，他们的收入只有世界的十分之一，拥有的财产不到世界的百分之一。他们是世界上最贫穷的人之一。
Exhaustion and exasperation are frequently the handmaidens of legislative decision.
