Am I the only one that finds your posting extremely hypocritical.. You bash Obama on the economy and the debt yet you bash him on not giving the military or social security a raise. Both will add to the debt..

I'm hardly a profiler but let me take a shot.

1. You have a job.
2. You are retired military
3. You collect Social Security or are within 10 years of doing so.

Just for your info both 1 and 2 apply. Thank you for your thoughts on the military should be paid triple. The following applies to all of the presidents: Why do we give all these countries aid and not take care of our own people first? Can you or someone give a explaination why this happens. Could this be one of the reasons why this country is in debt? Didnt Congress vote themselves for a raise maybe 2 or 3 years ago?
