via CQ($): Responding to Congressional appropriators' suggestion that an income tax surcharge might be used to pay for future operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a livid House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) played the "partisan" card to avoid making fiscally responsible decisions about war spending. Raiding every taxpayer's wallet for the purposes of playing politics with our national security amounts to some of the most irresponsible public policy I've seen in a long, long time. Is Boehner really suggesting that paying for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is "playing politics with our national security?" Photo by Staff Sgt. Jacob N.
