If we're going to spend more money, it should go to the soldiers, Marines, and airmen to increase their salaries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We want to make sure the military gets it right and understands that if they're going to have less money, they're going to have to spend it a lot more smartly.
This is the people's money, and we need to use it on their priorities. Increasing the pay of members of Congress is not their priority.
This government has always said increasing pay is something for something.
If we want to increase revenue, we need more taxpayers. The way to do that is employ more people.
If Congress is unable to do its job and pass a federal budget, then I do not believe we should receive a salary.
Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending - a little or a lot.
In a budget this massive, there are certainly areas where I think we could do much better.
The spending in science and technology need to be to increased.
Well, first of all, let's go right to it. We're going to balance the budget. We should live within our own means, and we should read the bills and work with the American people.
We're going to have to raise revenues in some form or fashion, and we're going to have to cut spending, including entitlements of all kind, including the military. We all know this. Lets get on with it.
