Thanks to a late flurry of bill signings by President Barack Obama, the perpetually gridlocked Congress that just adjourned has had 296 bills enacted into law during its two years of work, according to congressional records. Republicans have controlled the House and Democrats have run the Senate, and the two chambers have ignored many of each other's priorities. Obama has signed hard-fought bills financing government agencies through next September and renewing a batch of expiring tax breaks for corporations and individuals.
