Quote:Ok Bush paid better but that doesn't make him a better or worse leader?


Just your comment about being out of job if not for crazies is a little unsettling. Perhaps I'm reading to much into it, but wouldn't it be a good to not have ISIS and alqeada ect... In reality they're both problems we created, alqeada to fight Russia and ISIS to fight Syria but then we spill American blood and sacrifice American liberty in the name of security for fear of these threats we created. It's insanity, we should be reducing our influence world wide. Close the embassies in hostile nations. Pull out of NATO and the UN and take care of our own but decade long campaigns make all that impossible.

I'm sorry I just can subscribe that a job, any job working for the government entitled people to paychecks for life, healthcare for life, free education, and then take grips about federal debt seriously. What you are advocating is selective socialism, and even selective socialism is dangerous.

 

You can't be serious.  We do what less than 1% of the United States would never do for pennies.  If it wasn't for these benefits they would be drafting people to maintain the proper security for this nation.  In the civilian sector my current job pays double of what I make here. You act as if our paychecks and benefits is the main reason for the countries financial blunders.  I am a patriot, and I love what I do, but I want my CIC and the rest of my superious to support me in something they want.  All of these politicians who can retire after their one term in office, is not serving 20+ years in harms way for others.  It's not an easy life for me or my family.
