In a letter sent to President Obama last week, Boehner and House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) asked the president to invoke his authority under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to submit specific proposals rescinding spending already in place. Boehner and Cantor pledged that if the president grants their request and chooses to use this authority, which has been invoked 1,178 times by previous presidents, they will introduce each proposal as a stand-alone bill in the House of Representatives. "Here in the House of Representatives, there is no shortage of opportunities to vote on bills increasing spending or creating new programs, but very seldom do we consider bills to actually reduce spending or eliminate programs," Boehner and Cantor wrote last week. "Since increasing the debt limit by $290 billion on December 16, the House has not considered one bill to reduce the national debt.

POPSThe Kennedy Dynasty Continues to Crumble The Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s earth-shattering election, with a new poll showing U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy losing ground as he faces a well-financed GOP foe backed by Brown’s top strategists. Last year Ted Kennedy, Jr. was asked if he had decided whether or not to run for public office, and he replied “I haven’t crossed that bridge yet.” Um, okaayy. I’ll take that as a “no” then. But driving skill genetics aside, Scott Brown’s win and Patrick Kennedy’s decline might force the whole family completely out of politics and back into bootlegging booze. Update: Patrick Kennedy says that Scott Brown’s election is “a joke.” Obviously Patrick hasn’t seen the above polling number yet or he’d be distracted by an even funnier one. Patrick Kennedy who once said “I’ve never worked a f **** g day in my life” http://bit.ly/aekFhf http://dougpowers.com

POPSTaxpayers Pay $101,000 For Pelosi's In-Flight 'Food, Booze' "And these documents suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else." Pelosi, D-Calif., who joined President Obama on a list of Top 10 corrupt politicians, was added to that list for her "sense of entitlement," Judicial Watch said when the "honors" were announced not long ago. "Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline," the evaluation said. Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else' http://bit.ly/bAfrG2

POPSObama Endorses “Statutory Fiscal Commission” Nevertheless, such a commission would essentially take away lawmaking powers from the legislative branch, forcing them to contemplate deficit reduction legislation without being able to alter it through amendments. This just doesn’t seem like a smart approach to governing, and it could allow a pain caucus to sprout in Congress and force major slashes to safety net programs.

POPSThe Fall of the House of Kennedy that grew the modern Democratic Party. That year, JFK signed executive order 10988 allowing the unionization of the federal work force. This changed everything in the American political system. Kennedy's order swung open the door for the inexorable rise of a unionized public work force in many states and cities. This in turn led to the fantastic growth in membership of the public employee unions"The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the teachers' National Education Association. They broke the public's bank. More than that, they entrenched a system of taking money from members' dues and spending it on political campaigns. Over time, this transformed the Democratic Party into a public-sector dependency. They became different than the party of FDR, Truman, Meany and Reuther. That party was allied with the fading industrial unions,
