Granted, I know there is government waste. I see it day in and day out. I cringe inside when I see the thousands, and yes, millions and billions being wasted. I really do.
But geez louise, I finally get a decent paying job and look at what is about to happen. It's not the best job in the world, but it'll do. I work with the best group of co-workers I could ever ask for. Sure, some of them are a bit on the strange side, like me, but we laugh all day and it's fun to go into work. Yes the most of the management can't manage their way through a wet paper sack but I deal with it.
But now because we have a president in the WH who hates the military, who created this mess to begin with, who wants to take away 20% of my pay, and who is the very opposite of a Ronald Reagan or Abraham Lincoln, people want to give him a free pass at the expense of my pay check? And hey, let's also get one thing straight here, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR LOST WAGES!
All you hypocrites, who want to see real budget tightening, tell the government to stop funding organizations like Sesame Street, NPR, Planned Parenthood; tell them to stop sending money overseas to countries that hate the USA, tell them to stop taking vacations that cost the tax payer on average of $500,000!!! That’ll pay for the 22 billion dollar shortfall that is going to cost me my salary.
I would love to be President if only for the sole reason of giving the government the type of reduction in force that will put it back to doing the job it's supposed to do, defend the nation and provide for a stable currency, PERIOD! I would also love to fire idiots like Harry Reid, Olympia Snowe, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the like. I'd repeal the amendment that enabled Senators to be elected and put their appointment back in the hands of the states. I'd fire almost every Supreme Court justice and put constitutional scholars on it and get back it back to ruling justly. Lastly, I'd repeal every law, hate or otherwise, that outlaws or impedes true Christian faith from being practiced.
I’m mad!
Don't listen to RFEngineer or anyone else.
The waste in military, or any government agency, is not your burden.
Believe me, there is more "waste" in EVERY agency, Federal, State, and Local, that is more sinful than anything you should be associated with.
Every cop on this forum who padded his retirement for the last year of his career in order to maximize his/her retirement is guilty of sin. God knows it, and they know it. It was a crime, and they should be held accountable for it.
You, ducttape, are trying to earn your income despite what our Lords in Washington DC are doing.
I have the feeling that this is all about to collapse, politically speaking. I think that Paul Ryan, John Boehner, and Eric Cantor have NO idea what is taking place. They are holding meetings, and they think they have it all in hand.
Good luck.
