Republican in Charge of Lawsuit Oversight Admits She Has No Clue How Much Taxpayers Will Pay

Exactly how much will the perilous and meritless Boehner lawsuit cost American taxpayers?  Well, "we don't knowyet" is the latest word from the Congresswoman in charge of overseeing this legal boondoggle.  Committee on House Administration Chairwoman Candice Miller confessed that she has no idea how much the partisan lawsuit to sue the President will cost on the House floor just moments ago.

It's no wonder that Chairwoman Miller waived a hearing on this lawsuit dismissing Democratic Ranking Member Robert A. Brady's request for transparency, while Republicans in the House Rules Committee rejected 11 amendments from Democrats that would've also increased transparency and accountability in funding the lawsuit.

What we do know is their past disruptive and distractive schemes have cost American taxpayers:

• $2.3 million – Defending DOMA

o   Bloomberg: Boehner's House: $2.3 Mln Defending DOMA in Losing Court Fight

• $3.3 million – Establishing the Select Committee on Benghazi

o   USA Today: House Benghazi panel may cost $3 million this year

• $1.3 billion– Downgrading of the America's Credit Rating

o   The Huffington Post: Debt-Ceiling Battle Cost The U.S. Government $1.3 Billion: Study

• $24 billion – Shutting Down the Government

o   Talking Points Memo: S&P: Shutdown Cost U.S. $24 Billion

• Price(To Be Determined) – Boehner's Perilous and Meritless Lawsuit

House Republicans have also wasted $79 million on more than 50 votes to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act.  Mr. Boehner, Americans deserve to know the cost of this financial burden.
