Speaker of the House, John Boehner, would like to save money by chopping your Medicare, because we must cut corners wherever we can you know. Boehner isn’t as thrifty when fighting to re-institute the DOMA Act, Defense of Marriage Act, because the earth will tilt and spin off of its axis if gay and lesbian couples are treated like everyone else.
Did I mention that Boehner feels strongly enough about the issue to secure the services of a private legal firm, costing $500,000? He doesn’t feel strongly enough to pay for it out of his own well-padded pocket. The source of the funding is in question – but that minor fact is merely ‘partisan’ quibbling in sticky fingers Boehner’s opinion.
