detjoe Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 yea this is garbage...while the news is saying they got something passed, its really unfair to leverage shut down againt the extra cuts you are attempting to push thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave04SS Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 whoever said the military was getting a pay freeze is an idiot.. Obama actually approved a 1.4% increase in military pay.. http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/payfreeze.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojo_143 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 not a pay freeze a pay stoppage if they did not figure out the governments budget we would have had a pay stopage until it was figured out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desrtrat Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 not a pay freeze a pay stoppage if they did not figure out the governments budget we would have had a pay stopage until it was figured out!! we went thru the same when i was in the Army in 1978. back then their was no direct deposit of your pay, just a check, that no bank in the world would cash it..but things worked out in a couple of weeks. i believe our troops should be paid before the bone head leaders do, the troops are not the ones who have been screwing things up for all these years...

f1ss Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Doesn't matter to them because congress still gets paid. and we as the people elect them. So we as the people must suffer through what they choose to do. This is the new america. Canada is looking better and better!! Glad I am not the only one, Ive been thinking of it ever since this "change" guy took office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepingcrna Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah, my favorite part is how EVERYONE is taking credit for 'preventing' a shutdown. Great job everyone !! Now, it's time to put another bandaid on that gaping hole in America's carotid artery and figure out how to raise everyone's taxes without them noticing.

WretchedSS Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 632$ paycheck while deployed in afghanistan... Cool. (sarcasm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) me too. this is ridiculous. i have money saved up but a lot of my friends and coworkers are living paycheck to paycheck and wont have money for rent/food. I cannot believe that some grumpy old men won't pull their heads out of their @$$es and come up with something. oh and by the way, the congressmen and women who can't come up with a budget to pay us are still going to receive a paycheck. im furious. We should be able to start decking EVERY congressman/women $1,000 a day (of their salary) until this is fixed. Pro-rate it too from the beginning!!! Then get them ALL to take a $1,000 pay cut for each year they are in office. This extra money can fill in a little of the budget problems the states are being dumped into. These elected officials have homes/mansions on each coast and $900 plate lunches every time we turn around, so they would hardly notice $1,000 missing... Man up Congress, this is AMERICA your F-ing with!!!! Edited April 11, 2011 by Bad Bowtie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 ... But yeah it does suck being a recruiter we were told that this does not effect our job we are still expected to report for work and get our quota for the month but we have to limit our recruiting effort to minimize money spent...so in otherwords work less effectively for free but produce the same results!! WOW, that last part really does SUCK. My hats off to you and your hard work dude..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
