House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, promised this week that if Republicans retake the House at the midterm elections, the party would offer weekly spending cuts. Speaking at a rally for congressional candidate Allen West, Boehner pledged, "You’ll see us every single week move bills that will cut spending," according to
The Hill.

House Republicans made the cuts a featured part of the "Pledge to America" that was published last month.
Included: repealing Obamacare, fixing budget caps, reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, cutting some spending to 2008 levels -- and nixing all future Troubled Assets Relief Program or TARP payouts.
