Boehner: judge Congress on 'how many laws we repeal, not on how many we pass'

Government Topics
July 21, 2013
By: Bruce Maiman


For those judging the House for its failure to pass new laws and its dogged determination to repeal existing ones (hello, ObamaCare!), John Boehner would like you to do, well, pretty much just that. In comments on "Face the Nation" Sunday morning, the House speaker said Congress "ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal" and not "by how many new laws we create."

And, since they have done a terrible job of repealing laws, which is the measure that Boehner thinks most important, exactly what have they done? What laws have they repealed? By that metric, they're an even bigger failure.

What an IDIOT!

Please keep in mind that the President cannot spend one red cent of taxpayer money - ALL spending bills originate within Congress. Simply put: "The President propses, Congress disposes".

This country is in the shape it's in BECAUSE the collective members of Congress WANT it that way. You can argue back and forth all day over which side deserves more blame than the other but in the end, the responsibility lies with each and every member.

As far as Boneheader, he is just making more comments to distract the people.

Well, I don't know how to break this to you, fellow earth and space traveler, but I'm at least half in agreement with Boehner on this one, even if it's to purpose completely opposite if his intention.


If Congress would repeal the so-called "Banking Modernization Act" of 1999, and the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act" of 2000, which both set financial regulation back to where it was 75 years previous (hence the term "modernization," for cruel irony's sake), the world would indisputably be in a better situation now.

I've got a Nevada highway's-length list of things I'd like repealed.

Did Boehner mention that he'd like all those laws giving tax breaks to the wealthiest repealed?

Yeah, I thought not.

Just another ankle grabber, barking from the gutter.

Congress is not inspiring much confidence. The level of debate in the house & senate often mirrors the level of posting in the unmoderated zimmerman thread.
