Congressional Republicans don't have anything against penis pumps.
They just don't want Medicare paying for them unless cheaper prescription drugs are also on the list of taxpayer-funded therapies for men with problems they usually attribute to 'a friend.'
As part of a plan to pay for a new initiative aimed at helping disabled Americans save tax-free for education, housing and transportation costs, a House bill unveiled Tuesday eliminates $444 million in Medicare funding for the 'vacuum erection systems.'

It’s only a half a billion dollars. You seem OK with that.

Bill pills and penis pumps are always found as spam...my sons get it in their email.
We (wife and I) tell them that girls are more interested in other things than the size...

Forgive my impeccable logic, but with an 18 trillion-dollar debt, we have no business paying either for penis pumps or tax breaks for the disabled. In fact, we really don’t have any business paying for most of this social spending crap.
Combined PING! and DANG!

I still don’t need a pump. I do need, however, a loaded gun to my head.
To: Lurkina.n.Learnin
i’m not okay with a half billion spent on penis punps
but i’d compromise and let them pump themselves up to their hearts’ delight.... if they’d only fix what really ails America
IMHO, just my opinion

That is one of the things that ails America. They throw around half a billion dollars like it is pocket change with no consequence. A billion here, a billion there and pretty quick it starts adding up to real money.
