As if I needed another reason to hate the government they “need” a pay raise. They have done anything to earn what they get now. Make them get a real job.

After the mess they have created they are &¤& stupid enough to ask for more $$$. Send them either to Ukraine or maybe Syria.

In England it is more obvious when the favored team loses and they go and Bash up the Mrs instead. But who is to say do not mess with the English.

They are more likely to give everyone a million dollars and they will all think they are rich, while the astute ones trade their little supply of the unlimited dollars for some of the new money which is limited and cannot be produced for free.

Americans are controlled at the barrel of a gun.

It takes a lot less than that to control modern Americans. Money and the media has 9/10 people enslaved

Yes, but the threat of physical coercion is always there, even when it's not legal. Remember 2020?

I thought a lot of people are drug dependent. If that is not control in one form or another, I not know an easier way. Sad really.

Shut the government down permanently. We are going to have to do this ourselves non violently. We can't let govt. continue to make up their own rules and completely step on our rights. We need a revolution and it won't be televised. Thank you GM for staying on top of the this situation.

Of course not. Congress is comprised of prostitutes who sold their souls for money that's off of our backs. Most of them are treasonous traitors.

F@#K NO!!!

The mere fact that those self-deified miscreant creatures have given themselves the ability to give themselves a "pay raise" IS one of the most viscerally repulsive things I know of!

Let me recall : The DoD has FAILED a seventh audit.....translated to plain English : "We've got a SH@T LOAD of money/spending we cannot account for.". That mere fact is another blatant lie that the whole of our government is covering up.

Then there's the other untold Trillion$ that Dr. Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts have been reporting on for nearing a full decade.

And who knows what else?

It begets the question, doesn't it? Why does the American populace continue to pay even one penny of "federal income tax?"

From the early-'80s to the mid-90s I worked for a nationwide company directly and heavily involved in transportation sector.....from daily truck rentals to long-term H.D. OTR Fleet tractor-trailer leasing that, back then, had well over 350 corporate locations across the U.S. and an additional hundreds of truck maintenance facilities.

t the full service corporate facilities (District Offices) they were structured to operate as independent business locations.....they had to stand on their own P & L /Accounting Ledger, with minimal oversight from corporate HQ.

The local District Offices handled loads of "cash" on a daily basis. Daily bank deposits were (quite likely still are) required, as depending on the District, several tens of thousands of dollars in cash were deposited every day. Multiply all that cash by hundreds of locations I don't need to quantify it any further.

Every once in a while we'd catch wind of a District of where "They Cleaned House," because "cash was missing."

You know what the "cleaned house" meant?

It meant every employee at the affected District was fired. From District Manager to the local District controller to mechanics, EVERYBODY! Why so extreme? Because it was CASH and the District Offices were tightly run operations, and HQ could not afford to get in potential legal battles of "false accusations" of theft, so, everybody was treated equally....."CLEAN HOUSE".....of EVERYBODY!

Why, you may ask do I relate this story?

Because with ALL the accounting chicanery that goes on in the District of Criminals I have yet to comprehend WHY the whole of the American populace doesn't rise up and "CLEAN HOUSE" at the federal level? ALL of it! EVERYBODY! From the occupier of the Oval Office to ALL 535 Congressmen/Congresswomen and ALL their staff to the whole of SCOTUS along with EVERYBODY that works within ALL the myriad array of wholly unconstitutional alphabet-soup agencies. ALL of them! No severance packages! No "government pensions.". Theft on a GRANDE SCALE has occured, and continues! Hence, they are ALL treated EQUALLY. NO ACCUSATIONS. BUT, THEFT HAS OCCURED! ONE IS GUILTY! THEY'RE ALL GUILTY.

If you think my point of view is extreme, I have one question for you : Are you among the whole knows how many Americans that is so dumbed down that you actually LOVE being plundered and pillaged day after day,year after year, by your favorite (S)elected "representative?"
