Can we get a CBO score on what gay marriage would COST the treasury. I am not sure the government can afford the cost of adding to the roll of married tax benafactors.
Yep gay marriage (as tax cuts in general ...forgetting for purpose of this argument that tax cuts always have INCREASED receipts)
How much faster would social security go broke by adding all these new couples to the benefit rolls.
Gay marriage----we just can't afford it.

It's pretty easy to figure out the cost. Assume homosexuals are 2-3% of the population.
Cut that in half because it takes 2 to marry. Cut that in half (at least) again because
no more of the homosexual group wants to get married or will be married than the hetrosexuals amongst us.

So what do you have - maybe 1/2 of 1% of the population as an increase. Thus a 1/2 of 1% (.005) increase in the cost at maximum.

Gay marriage----we just can't afford it.

That means we could just eliminate marriage and save the treasury a bundle!
