Bambi is saying one thing, Hoyer is saying another. Neither is to be believed or trusted. Our Military is UNDER paid as it is.

I have the ill fortune to be one of this loathsome POS swine's constituents. Get with it Hoyer - the person who signs up with the military writes a blank check to the USA - secured by his or her life. A better idea: Roll back the exorbitant salaries paid to Congresspeople and Federal Judges, none of whom are subject to the proposed freeze.

How about the Congress stops putting earmarks in the Defense Department budget - earmartks for non-defense items.

You don’t freeze military pay during a time of war, Steny.

What an idiot he is!

What a fool. Congress needs a major pay and “perks” cut. . .The men and women in uniform (both past and present) need a pay raise.

I work for a privately held small business. I have taken a 60% pay cut in benefits and salary over the last three years.

My CEO stopped taking a pay check in Oct. 2008. I’m tired of everyone up in arms over “pay freezes” when at each recession I’ve taken a minimum of a 10% pay cut at the first signs of the slow down.

Cut the pay for senators, congressman, staff, slash their pensions and medical benefits. Let’s see them take the “haircut” first and then tell me all my with holdings were just a joke.

I think Congress should get a pay cut, and their pensions should only be funded out of congressional pay rather than be a perk in addition to their bloated pay.

All troops are in harms way, as any military base can be considered a target. Remember Fort Hood, Stimpy?

And besides, our soldiers and sailors get Public Housing-style pay, while civilian federal employees get something closer to Gated Community-style pay.

Congress should roll back their pay to 1996 levels. Then should not consider any new funding unless it is offset with a reduction in some other area. NO EXPANSION of budget.billion. If the Democrats want to expand unemployment benefits at a cost of 3 billion then they should be willing to cut the State department budget by 2 billion.

For those saying that they should freeze officer pay, reduce retirement pay or cut medical benefits:

My Husband has EARNED his active duty pay and his retirement. He didn’t get where he is by sitting on his ass for the past 27 years from the time he was an E3 to O4. (He is an LDO)
