Republicans and Democrats in DC hold the same position on same sex marriage. Leave it to the states. George Bush announced in 2004 that it was a state issue and the Feds should leave it alone. The exact same position that Obama was so "brave and bold" for taking a decade later. lols.
There is no division in Congress. It's an illusion. Mostly to get ignorant people to send in campaign donations and vote for "our side." lols. Useful idiots.

Are you saying that the federal government is projected to spend 50 trillion on health care over the next 10 years? That's not the case and you're numbers are way off.
There are three main components to federal health care spending: Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare's new insurance subsidies/tax credits. Total Medicaid and Medicare spending over the next 10 years is projected to be 10.4 trillion.

10.4 trillion + 1 trillion is 11.4 trillion (38 trillion less than the 50 trillion figure you cited).
Also, Bush did support an amendment in 2004 to ban same sex marriage.
