Boehner's Crazy War Plan

John Boehner wants to pay for the war by raising the retirement age for Social Security to 70.

Which is insane for so many reasons.

The incongruous relationship between Social Security and the war aside -- since when does John Boehner give a crap about paying for the war? It's been nine years and all Boehner has wanted to do is to cut taxes and pay for the war with supplementals. You know, because he and the Republicans are such fiscal hawks who hate massive deficits.
