That's the Tea Party's operating ethos boiled down to four words: who will get fucked? They failed at fucking over the Affordable Care Act, and have been reduced to fucking over their own goddam staffers because, well, dammit, someone has to get fucked in this thing, or else they'll be humiliated and stuff.

I think the reason they choose to cut subsidies to staff is that if the dems agree then they can use it in ads during next election.
Blah blah voted to for subsidies for there own staff .
