Will Boehner plan prevail?

Sun., July 4, 2010

Given that our congressional representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers votes so close to the conservative Republican line, I wonder what she thinks of House Republican Leader John Boehner’s statement that the federal government must cut Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70, while continuing to fund the war in Afghanistan.

Perhaps The Spokesman-Review should ask Ms. McMorris Rodgers directly; if she agrees with so much of what Mr. Boehner says, does she also favor drastically cutting Social Security in order to fund pointless overseas wars?
