The fund benefiting families of slain police officers is cut almost in half. While they find creative ways to funnel billions to one of the most corrupt organizations in American history. Whats next?!? Maybe we can set up adoption services for pedophiles... Gym memberships for wife beaters, so they can really do it next time. Or best yet...body waxes and free condoms for rapists to make sure they don't leave any DNA behind. So the change we get to see…

Administration on Whether Congress Needs to Approve Automaker Bailout
Thursday, May 07, 2009
By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)
Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) – The auto bailout and government-supervised restructuring plan is an executive branch matter, and it is not something that Congress will get involved in unless asked, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday.

“If and when the Administration thinks that there should be legislation, then we will take that up,” Pelosi said at her press conference yesterday.

“We have not heard, I have not personally heard from the executive branch that they need any legislative remedies,” she said.

…

Since President Barack Obama announced the expansion of the program to include at least $1.1 billion toward covering the cost of Chrysler and GM warranties during the restructuring, several members of Congress have said they did not know where the president got the legal the authority to do this.

Pelosi said she does not believe legislation is required for the auto restructuring plan.

“If and when the administration thinks that there should be legislation, then we will take that up,” Pelosi told reporters. “But President Bush by and large took that initiative away from us.”

An auto bailout bill passed the House in December 2008 but died in the Senate after the United Auto Workers Union failed to make concessions and a cloture vote failed to secure the 60 votes needed to bring the legislation to a final vote on the Senate floor.

“We had legislation that required certain things. He (Bush) took some of it and added his own that we weren’t particularly pleased with,” Pelosi continued. “But nonetheless, President Obama has this as an executive branch initiative. We have not heard, I have not heard, from the executive branch that they need legislative remedies.”

Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly told CNSNews.com after the press conference that the speaker was not questioning the authority of either the Bush or the Obama administration to implement the auto bailout.

“The executive branch seems to be looking at it and doing it with the auto task force,” Daly told CNSNews.com. “She (Pelosi) believes the administration has the authority.”

Daly did not know precisely where the authority came from, but he believed it likely comes from the $700 billion bailout that created the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP).

In December, a study by the conservative Heritage Foundation concluded that allocating TARP funds to non-financial institutions, in this case auto companies, was not legal under the language of the legislation. Also, former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich said that using money from the TARP legislation to bailout automakers was unconstitutional.

But the issue of legality has been vetted by two administrations, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told CNSNews.com in March.

“I think the determination has been made both by the previous administration and the current administration that this assistance is legal, and our goal is to ensure that the taxpayers in any instance when this is used feel confident that it’s being done in a transparent and accountable way,” Gibbs said.

…

Last month, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who actually sponsored the auto bailout legislation that passed the House but failed in the Senate, said Congress would not get involved in the Obama administration’s automaker bailout.

“It’s an administration situation so I’m not very well informed on it,” Frank told CNSNews.com. “Do the words ‘I’m not very well informed on it’ have any meaning to you?
