Our inaugural question here at Motivating Questions! (Don’t worry, the main focus won’t typically be on politics).
With the focus these days on political effectiveness it’s important to put things in perspective at times. The charge of Congressional ineffectiveness has been leveled just about every year since the very first Congress. With some big bills passed recently it may not be the case that this Congress is actually worse at getting things done.
We have 3 writers on-board at the moment and over the next three weeks we’re all going to be chipping in to provide some background on Congressional leaders over time and working to develop a model of their effectiveness. At the end of this cycle we’ll all post our conclusions on which Speakers have yielded the most power. Then we’ll come together to highlight any of our common conclusions or points of disagreement.
The goal is to learn. At the very least, this will be an interesting journey.
