I saw this interview this morning. This guy has the deadest eyes I’ve ever seen. He also complained that he hadn’t gotten a raise in a few years.

The eyes are the window to the soul.

Hey Kapo... when is your sorry ass going to take a pay cut and give up some of your retirement benefits????

The term "Kapo" you used is very apt.

The one percent cut for military pensions is not in the pension itself but in the annual cost of living increase based on inflation. If the inflation rate is 2.5% in a year based on the CPI, retirees under 62 years of age would get a COLA of 1.5 percent. A person retiring from the service after 20 years service will still receive 50% of base pay over the last three years of service. At age 62, retirees would receive the full COLA each year.

When I see these politicians cutting their pay and retirement, AND all their money making schemes, then I’ll believe that they are serious about cutting the budget. You want to cut the budget 50%? Get rid of 3/4 of all these alphabet GOVT. agencies. I will guarantee you, that if these politicians did that, they will get a handle on our burgeouning government

The cheapest sluts of all are the GOP traitors buddying up to the Dems. All the cheap sluts are not only governing against the best interests of the people but also against the will of the people.

They need to be reined in. Big time.

To Hell with that - let the useless feeders like Schumer take a cut!
