We had two days of Republicans taking their victory laps, but now it's time to get down to the business of governing, and yesterday presumptive House majority leader Eric Cantor came out swinging -- no, not by finally explaining how his party will slash the deficit and create jobs, jobs, jobs and more jobs -- but by laying out how they will tackle the issues that have been weighing on voter's minds:
... Republican-led committees will devote more time investigating and exposing lapses by the Obama administration and problems with its programs, including bringing critical oversight reports to the House floor for very public debates.
Rep. Eric Cantor wants every committee chairman to investigate administration programs to make sure taxpayers are getting their money's worth. He's proposing a featured "oversight" hearing of the week. He's even ready to limit naming of post offices to one day a month, so that committees can spend their time on investigations.
