How can Congress still get paided ?
« on: September 20, 2013, 03:49:17 pm »
 I heard  on  the news  that  the  military persons  will  be  receiving "iou's"  while  the  Congress  are still getting  their fat checks.  This  makes  me  :BangHead:

 ??? That is totally disgusting and incomprehensible.  I just don't understand stuff like this.  There is no justice in the world and certainly no ethics.  The American people should revolt but that is never gonna happen.

You're still surprised stuff like this is happening? Congress has a 15% approval rating. Do more research on who you vote for next time. And if you don't vote for your representatives, I suggest you do.

Congress has no shame!  They are more concerned with keeping their aggressive, loud mouth members happy than taking care of the citizens that are paying their salaries.

  Not  surprised  just  little  ticked  off.  I  have  two  cousins   that  are  the military  and  have  5  mores  years  before retirement.  The  a**holes  in  DC  forgets  who  puts  money in  their  banks  accounts.

Thats exactly right!  They have totally forgotten who has allowed them to make their salaries.  They are so fulled with hate because the American people picked a President they don't like, that they will ruin the country instead of working together.  They are like kids in school.

Our government is so corrupt.  It's just sad.  This is the world we're leaving.

Congress will get paid because not a one of them will leave without his or her paycheck.  They were put there to ensure that the people who elected them into office are taken care of.  Boehner says the Government is broke, but I don't see him forgoing his paycheck to make sure that the men and women who sacrificed and fight for us get their check.  Nor do I see it happening anytime soon. ??? ??? ??? :wave:

I'm rooting for a government shutdown. Someone needs to actually show some spine and stop arbitrarily voting to raise the debt limit. Stop the procrastination and actually cut spending.

I actually DREAM of the day when our Military men and women TURN on this government.  It's not only Congress that's collecting their FAT checks - it's the Senate, all the way up to the TOP DOPE, Obama.  The parties fight each other over who is screwing the American people more.  C'mon, now, wake up - THEY'RE ALL SCREWING US.  This is no longer a government FOR the people and BY the people.  We have no one but ourselves to blame for voting these idiots in on a WHIM and a PRAYER.  Our country lives by a Constitution that needs to be followed if we want to STAY a "REPUBLIC."  Better start voting in men and women who LIVE by that Constitution or this is what you get!

It is so disappointing that they could still be getting paid for the awful job they are doing.   >:(

What about those people who divorced and has to pay child support.  My girlfriends ex-husband pays her child support from his check what happen to the children?  That is my concern.  What about those people who live off base and has families and that's there only income?  That's just not right! I would like the government to do without there checks to live, then they will know how all of us little people feel.

I'm definitely tired of all the perks they get in their cushie positions regardless of how efficiently they do the job. Even certain politicians I had particular favoring in the past is losing my favor now.
