Boehner: Obama's plan to pay for jobs bill 'repulsive'

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the administration's idea to spend money returned from bailed out banks "repulsive."

The top-ranking GOP lawmaker told reporters that money repaid from failing banks bailed out by the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was never intended to fund new programs.

Democrats want to use that money to pay for a jobs creation bill.

“This makes me so angry! I was there – I know all about TARP. First it was never intended that all this money was going to be spent. But any money that wasn’t spent was going to go to the deficit. The idea of taking this money and spending it is repulsive," the Ohio lawmaker told reporters on Tuesday.

Boehner also had choice words for the administration's decision to declare carbon dioxide an endangerment in order to regulate it under the Clean Air Act.

“The idea that the EPA is going to proceed on their effort to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide going in the air, in the face of all of these emails now been disclosed about climate change, causes me to wonder just what planet are they living on," Boehner said.
