GOP Wants Obama to Prove He’s Serious about Cutting Budget Thursday, February 04, 2010
By Staff, Associated Press
Washington (AP) - House Republicans are asking President Barack Obama to work with them to cancel already-in-place spending programs.
Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia sent a letter to the White House on Thursday asking Obama to invoke a provision that lets lawmakers cut money included in past budgets. The White House didn't have immediate comment.
Cantor, the No. 3 House Republican, says Obama has the ability to prove he's serious about cutting the budget.
