The intent of the founders was that all money bills, both tax and spend, would originate in the House.

Many decades ago the House abdicated that power to the executive branch.

Can and should the power of the House be restored?

[Jacquerie]

I don’t know if it is possible. Restoration of the House is a tall order. Both chambers of congress have been so corrupted from their Constitutional purposes, I doubt many members have a clue as to the extent of the corruption.

Can and should the power of the House be restored?

Yes. The House is the people's house, and tax and spending bills deal with the people's money, so it would be nice if tax and spending bills originated in the House once again.
