Republicans find ways to pay for everything else (i.e. drug plans for big pharma, tax cuts for the wealthy, wars, etc.). Well, I guess that they really don't pay for them per se but they seem to have no problems with authorizing funding for them anyway. The only things that they seem to insist we make sure are paid for are social programs (which they desperately seek excuses to get rid of in the first place) or pretty much anything proposed by Democrats.
