Should they take control of the House in the midterm elections, House Republicans would propose a spending cut every week, their leader said Monday.

According to the Palm Beach Post, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told an audience at a fundraiser for South Florida GOP congressional candidate Allen West that if they win a majority, “you’ll see us every single week move bills that will cut spending.”

Boehner's comments indicate that House Republicans intend to make good on a central part of the “Pledge to America” governing document they rolled out last month.
