In response to President Obama's announcement that he would consolidate a number of trade and commerce agencies in the federal government, House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) office is asking whether the move is just for show.
"Given the President’s record of growing government, we’re interested to learn whether this proposal represents actual relief for American businesses or just the appearance of it," Boehner press secretary Brendan Buck said in a statement on Friday. "American small businesses are more concerned about this administration’s policies than from which building in Washington they originate.
"We hope the President isn't simply proposing new packaging for the same burdensome approach," Buck continued. "However, eliminating duplicative programs and making the federal government more simple, streamlined, and business-friendly is always an idea worth exploring. We look forward to hearing more about his proposal."

Did BONER even have to ask the question ???
Partly. It is also intended to fire any actually principled people in the bureaucracy that have run afoul of the communist tyrant, and try to stand up for constitutional constraints on his powers. He intends to fire them...and leave his communist accomplices in place. Thus ‘downsizing’ government.
just for show?...save 3 billion over ten years while our debt interest is 4.5 billion a day?...show?...eeeyeah
Here we have one of the biggest power grabs to date and that’s all Boehner can say? Obama essentially wants to take over commerce and trade in this country and lock it down to use it as part of his National Socialist project. And what do we hear from Congress???
Yes. Obama is all about BIG GOVERNMENT AND CONTROL.
From Zero Hedge:
2.8 Million Jobs Lost Since End of Recession (Is This An Economic Recovery?)
Obama was the authority to do something like this, - yet he still can’t even produce a frickin’ budget in writing...??
Go further than zero. Eliminate entire federal departments. Start with the Dept. of Education.
Yo... Boner.... grab another bottle and crawl back into the corner....
Are you kidding me? He will “merge” departments under different names with appointed czars over each and negate congress more than he already has. If boner can’t figure that out, he’s more of a twit than I thought.
Why else would anyone suggest rearranging the deck chairs?

PS Hi Boehner's Office. I know you search these threads for you boss's name, If you had any decency you'd all resign.
Why Boehner even questions the Marxist’s intentions just shows the American people how badly he needs to be replaced as Speaker.
How stupid is Boehner?
How high is up?
Nothing to see here folks. Just move along.
