John Boehner R-Ohio, says use Social Security funds to pay for war

[Riot]

I guess that in college, Bush should have done less drinking, and more reading of Machiavelli and the funding of wars.

Boehner probably expects support from the far right/libertarian anti-government "abandon or dismantle social security" crowd for his position. War over socialist handouts - that has to be a winner with them, hum?

Yet at the same time he's going all-in against those same people - they were the ones screaming, "keep your government hands off my medicare" last August, and fearing "government death panels".

I imagine those folks will feel the very same way about their social security, and the creation of government panels determining who will receive it, and who will not.

Interesting political position Boehner is taking.

There are plans to takeover 401ks to fund Social Security. Social Security is in the general fund because it is unConstitutional. They had to sell it as just another tax and that's all it will be to the generations that paid the most for the ones that pay the least.

and what does far right mean? You are really really for the Constitution?
