they told us that maybe come oct they can start to give back....i pray they can as it sucks having to make up that 25% out of savings each month just for the nessacery needs...

I hear ya. My 5% cut was annoying, but certainly not catastrophic. However, I don't know too many people who could take a 25% or 30% cut without feeling major pain. So all these government people who complain about their one or two percent raises, and these unionistas with their 14% bumps, make me want to puke.

Here's one,, I work as a electronic tech for the USPS. The union keeps trying to get me to join,, I say I will when the union pushes for a 15% pay cut,,, they look at me like I'm from another planet!
