What Good are Congressional Resolutions? . . . Ranking the Worst Killers in History

Adam and Jeff discuss whether they think Congress should spend its time promulgating non-binding resolutions. A recent resolution passed by the House condemning the horrors of socialism is considered. Adam and Jeff wonder if the Congress might have better spent the time on other things such as ending the recent 6-week government shutdown. They also discuss whether it makes any sense for Congress to concern itself with something that is not legally binding as there is already so little time for members to devote their attention to matters of great importance such as their own re-election campaigns. This resolution leads Adam and Jeff to consider the achievements of the greatest mass murderers in history and to wonder why people of each successive generation think socialism will solve all of their problems--despite the attendant historical wreckage.
