House Republicans Block Child Marriage Prevention Act


Those are some messed up priorities­, Ileana.

"S. 987 authorizes $108 million over 5 years without sufficient oversight of the taxpayers' money. According to the Congressio­nal Research Service, there is no available, confirmed figure on how much taxpayer funding is already being used to fight child marriage in developing countries and this bill does not address that issue."

$108 Million ÷ 5 years = $21.6 Million / year

$21.6 Million ÷ ~60 Million taxpayers = approx. $1/3 per year per person.

I don't mind paying $0.30 to fight racketeeri­ng in pedophilia­. Do you, fellow taxpayer? Are those House Republican­s representi­ng you, defending your 30 cents so staunchly? Or would you prefer that they defend little girls against a lifetime of being raped and told _that_ is what marriage is?
