Republican logic apparently now is against govt funding for religion
The recent little crying zone presser that they did about their "fears" about fungible-money and how it would "flow" to abortion funding for poor women, is ALSO applicable to how money is "reimbursed" to religious organizations for the "non-preachy" good they do..

Since they now feel that money is fungible, NO MORE MONEY should be given by our government to religious do-gooders...not for their schools or for their "outreach"..not for anything.. That's what the republicans who spoke today, implied..

I've always known it was a slippery slope anyway.. If a church ordinarily would use $5 k of "their money" for doing charitable work, and the government gives them $5 for reimbursement, so long as they promise not to preach...they know have freed up THEIR $5k FOR preaching, and can use the govt's $5k for a replacement.. fungible? youbetcha:)

Thanks republicans.. for clearing it all up :rofl:..or is money only "fungible" when it's about the "girlie-bits" of women?
