some fantastic spin... look how mad he gets when he goes on a rant about how intellectually superior he sees himself, and how dumb everyone apparently is all around him... it must be lonely being such a genius...

the basic fact is, the people's representatives voted 397-27 for the measure, and Boy King wants it killed... it represents an extra $265 million for the year, no matter how YOU wanna play with numbers and be overdramatic... why is that a problem to slightly boost the livelihood of soldiers' and their families, yet the ever expanding $800B-1.3T Iraq bill or is never a problem? gotta leave it in there and get the job done, right?

typical corporative thinking, done so at the discretion of a failed businessman and spoiled son...

cut costs to people doing the job, boost cost for payoffs, gluttony and waste... bill the American taxpayer for lavish hotel stays for defense contractors...

Real World

Again, you're one of those simpletons that reads, or listens to your favorite people, and then bases their opinion on whatever slant it is they spew, without having the simplest understanding of even basic mathematics or common sense. This is simple math. I've forever stated that emotion has no business being involved in government. Emotion is bad business, and the government is bad enough with money as it is. This has nothing to do with who deserved this, or should get that based on emotion. This is fiscal. I'd love to give cops $1 million a year, and soldiers a Billion. You simply can't do that. There has to be reason involved in fiscal descisions. Of course, the problem is a pol stands on a soap box, and rants over "paying teachers, and firemen, etc.." and the sheep base their support on emotion, and not on what such policy means financially. Look at the history of the raises with respect to the military, the rate, and think accordingly. Of course, you won't though, cuz it's not what suits your Agenda. A raise today is a base next year, and every year thereafter. This is not simply $265 million this year, this is at least $265 million for the life of the military. When I give an employee a raise, that raise isn't just for this year, that raise become the base point of what I will now be paying them for their remaining existence with my company. Have you ever gotten a raise....nevermind, I forgot how old you are.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
