We're now at the very end of the 115th United States Congress led by Paul Ryan and the GOP. How would you grade it?

This one. Terrible legislation, the few that passed, and a complete lack of oversight.

A colossal waste of two years' of people's money, one of the worst Congresses in recent memory.

D for not managing to repeal Obamacare, despite a majority in every chamber and the occasional good legislation.

I liked the tax bill, the judges, and the Congressional Review Act eliminations, so C minus probs. Much better than the 111th congress during Obama's first 2 years.

F**k this congress. We have Paul Ryan running up unprecedented debt through the tax bill while doing everything he can to cut SS and Medicare because “we need to be finically smart”, shoving through that awful Ocare repeal that died in the senate anyway, and Nunes and the House oversight abusing their powers by actively coordinating with WH to undermine the Mueller probe. F**k this guys

Reforming entitlements gets an F, the great failure of the Paul Ryan/Trump 2 yr era. GOP reformed tax code, but entitlements contribute to national debt. Trump has a boom economy but a deficit equivalent to Obama. That's why the GOP received a shalacking

F-

It really says something that the GOP controlled both chambers and the Presidency, and yet they've accomplished virtually nothing but a flimsy tax cut for the rich. Not to mention they completely glossed over their duty to act as a check on Trump and allowed him and his administration get away with anything.

Americans should remember this when voting in the future.
