Two of the top Senate Democrats are blasting Republicans for inaction in Congress. They blame the Republican House for not passing laws, even though Democrats control the Senate and the White House, and even though their own aides said months ago that nothing would get done this year, in an election year.

“Republicans have clogged or blocked everything we have tried to do, even things, Mr. President, they have agreed on,” Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday on the Senate floor.
