perhaps they’d get a bigger bang for the buck if they froze WELFARE benefits. I’d rather freeze the unproductive, than those whose labor I depend upon.

What is spent on welfare PALES in comparison to the cost of public employees and their pensions in NJ and NY. Freezing welfare would be a drop in the bucket, as what is really bankrupting NJ is public employee pensions and health benefits, followed by salaries and overtime.

Time to bring these spoiled leeches/bureaucrats into the real world. It must be great to get a raise while those who bust their a-ses in the private sector get cuts.

I understand that that group got a larger 'raise' this year than the paltry 1.4% for our military - the LOWEST for our military in decades, while they fight and die.

And didn't the congress critters vote themselves a raise this year while soc. sec. was frozen and will be for coming years?
