this cut seriously pisses me off. we did out time and were guaranteed our pay and it really isnt that much. how about we leave the military alone and go after all the wasted spending. hey i have a novel idea that i will back and support. if they cut all the lawmakers pay and pensions as well as all the people that work for then i will support cutting my retirement and va benefits. but they have to give up more than me because theirs is 10 fold higher than what i get

Paul Ryan should take a hike. The total savings is 6 billion. We subsidize corporations more than 10x that yearly. This is what trickle down economics gets you.

Im so sick of them trying to cut our pay when they need to focus on civilian government pay. Thats what is out of control.

humility should be in every man's dna.

that along with bullshit government projects and just over all bullshit government period. they waste so much freaking money it's stupid

We spend too much and subsidize too much. Both parties at fault.
