(The Hill) Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) knew President Obama’s push to make community college free was trouble, and is invoking a little math to tell the president that nothing has changed.
“It sounded exciting at first,” Boehner’s office wrote in a blog post Friday amid a spattering of Taylor Swift gifs from her popular music videos showing her shaking it off, getting hit in the head with a basketball and attacking a vintage hotrod with a golf club.
“But then, we got to thinking. Free?! Is he using magic money? Nothing is free,” his staffers wrote, suggesting the Speaker would never, ever back the president’s plan.
Obama’s plan isn’t a beautiful handwritten note, Boehner’s staff says: “The president knows full well there’s no blank space in the taxpayers’ checkbook.”
