Boehner on Monday offered 10 possible names for what he called the “union-boss bailout” bill:

• Save Our ‘Stimulus’ (SOS) Act
• ‘Recovery Summer’ Bailout Act (Cash for Flunkers)
• Delivering Unions a Major Boost (DUMB) Act
• Helping Election Expenditures, Hurting American Workers (HEEHAW) Act
• Democracy is Strengthened by Clearly Leveraging and Optimizing Special-Interests’ Effectiveness (DISCLOSE) Act
• Holding Union Bosses Over Until Card Check Act
• Rescuing Incumbent Democrats Is Costly (RIDIC) Act
• Summertime Cash for Union Bosses Instead of Spending Cuts for Taxpayers Act
• Frivolous Act of Ineffective Largesse (FAIL) Act
• Naming These Things Hasn’t Gotten Us Anywhere, So Why Bother? Act

Boehner says the Republican Party is listening to the American people and is “offering better solutions to make government more responsive and accountable to the people it serves.”

As Romer fades back to her teaching post at Berkeley, Obama is adding to the economic misery by creating an environment of regulatory uncertainty. The Wall Street reform law Obama recently signed potentially requires 533 new regulations, 60 studies and 93 reports, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has 29 active rulemakings, and there are 100 new rules on the Labor Department’s agenda and 26 at the Transportation Department.
