Parliament in recent months has been at a standstill. Nearly every session since November has been adjourned because as few as 65 members made it to work, even as they and the absentees earned salaries and benefits worth about $120,000.
And this.
Deals on important legislation, most recently the oil law, now take place largely out of public view, with Parliament — when it meets — rubber-stamping the final decisions.(Corrente)
No that's not the US Congress (although yeah, you're right, that's what it sounds like), that's the Iraqi Parliament at work. Or maybe not so much.
But it's wonderful news! If those parliament guys keep it up we might not have to bring any troops home by August - they could be living in our 51st state!
