Just give each of the 3 million dollars a piece, you'd get more for it.

EDIT: Not to mention he was the same idiot who got on TV the other day and said that cutting 200,000 federal jobs is tough tit. His exact words were "so be it". Yeah, a real winner there. I had some respect for Speaker Boehner, I'm losing it quickly.
It's hard to admit a mistake so change the subject and add a whole bunch of words.

Its obvious you think one job is worth 3 million dollars, when a congressman is directly responsible for the bill. How many of the 200000 jobs that Boehner wants to cut are from ohio? I bet its more than a thousand. But he can't take personal gain from those jobs.

What I think has nothing to do with you making statements about which you know absolutely nothing. Now all you can do is deflect...

Mmmm, I hate to inject a little truth in your discussion but you know Boehner had nothing to do with this right?

I think that they voted for him to represent them, and he should do that if he wants to keep his job. If his vote would have made the difference I could see falling on the sword but it didn't.

Alternate fighter jet engine funded until March 4

"Brown and fellow Democratic Sens. John Kerry, of Massachusetts, and Patrick Leahy, of Vermont, had sent a letter to Department of Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week stating Congress intended to fund the engine program through March 4 despite the Pentagon's opposition to it."

In this case you are trying to shift all the blame on Brown and the {D}s to cover up the hypocrisy of the Boner. Here you have a guy that you are defending is talking about cutting spending and realizes that jobs will be lost. But when it came to his turf he does not lift a finger,was Boner a co sponser of the bill? did the Boner vote yes to cut the funding for the engine? He did neither,now what kind of example is that for some one who is raging for cuts and claims to be a conservative ?
It is pure hypocricy and I would be ashamed to defend it.
