It was always fun to see the neophytes drive the YP boats on the Severn.

“Other union leaders have also voiced concern over the president’s proposed pay raise, saying that the minimal increase over three years does little to compensate for the rising cost of living.”

........caused mostly by theives and morons recieving Federal paychecks and are now demaiding a raise to cover their loses.

Difficult economic and political times. I just hope everyone can pay their bills.

Our Federal “servants” need to take a 10% hit to share the pain.

Absolutely - if some folks are hurting, let's bring everyone down to their status instead of bringing the hurting folks up. It's a tried and true conservative principle...oh, wait....

It's difficult to set market prices for gov't employees. It would seem at the moment that they are overpaid.

When a company is not having revenues exceed expenses, actions are typically taken to reduce employee costs (I know, as I got retired early - one of many experiences along these lines over the years).

The Federal gov't has expenses that WAY exceed revenue. Appropriate actions need to be taken. Giving everyone a raise is NOT one of those actions. Borrowing money from China is not one either.

Probably the convicts who make license plates at Lewisburg.

They’re struggling, going to school etc. I believe they’re going to come out ahead. Well, given the current resident of the WH, in time they’ll come out ahead in four or so plus years.

Agree with you about your son-in-law and other warriors.

We cannot pay them too much, we can never honor them enough.

The rest of these bitchers and malingerers and parasites can’t be gotten rid of soon enough.

My daughter wonders how bad obama is. She’s 30. My son in law couldn’t abide by obama and got out this summer, after 12 years and 5 deployments, sergeant in the army. He was planning on retiring from the army. Not so anymore.

I told her, Carter and Clinton did the same. Democrats hate the military, obama is only worse. They know now. They didn’t vote for bambi.
