Sara posted this on her Facebook, and it just struck me as "Yeah, figures." I don't get overheated anymore; no more disbelief, shock or revulsion, just an acceptance the the end (or more precisely the beginning of restoration) is coming on pretty damn fast.
One bizarre feature of the Senate-passed health care bill is its pervasive bias against marriage. Under the bill, couples would face massive financial penalties if they marry or remain married. Conversely, couples who cohabit without marriage are given highly preferential financial treatment. If the Senate bill becomes law, saying “I do” would cost some couples over $10,000 per year.[1]
Most people feel that marriage is a healthful institution that society should encourage and strengthen. Inexplicably, the Senate health care bill takes the opposite approach. At nearly all age and income levels, the bill profoundly discriminates against married couples, providing far less support to a husband and wife than to a cohabiting couple with the same income. If the bill is enacted, married couples across America will be taxed to provide discriminatory benefits to couples who cohabit, divorce, or never marry.

Hi Angel,

Makes perfect sense that they would try to engineer broken homes. Easier to keep people dependent on the government when you take away their support systems.
Would not be surprised if there is a waiver in there for homosexuals though. With the dems traditional marriage BAD, butt sex with another man GOOD.
