Yet Congress Takes No Pay Cut Themselves?

Now, were gonna cut pay, manpower, retirement, healthcare, etc.. and somehow this will improve our ability to respond to an ever increasing shiitehole of a world?
It seems ludicrous to me to cut into a force which is already, by ALL accounts, over-tasked and tired. Yet all we can talk about on the social welfare side of the federal government coin is increases in food stamps, length of unemployment benefits for many who never have and never will look for a job in earnest, and continued massive bailouts for everyone but the common man.
I used to think the world was crazy and America was the last bastion of sensibility... now I am all but convinced the democrats have set us on a course which will all but ensure the end of America as we know it.
Our enemies have been waiting for this moment, and I'm sure they are slapping their knees in laughter as they watch what we have done to ourselves as a Nation.
I am embarrassed as an American for what we have become. [:(]

Something just occurred to me... WHY do we have bases in Europe? Do they not have enough soldiers? I get having some Americans there for training purposes, but 60 squadrons? Is that really necessary?
so the rest of NATO can spend their money on socialist programs that result in ragheads immigrating to European nations as "refugees" of some sort or another, becoming naturalized there (but not truly assimilated into German or French culture), and making it easier for them to come HERE with ill intents since they are EU citizens

Oh good, at least there's a reason [:)]
Or perhaps they live in another delusional world devoid of the obvious realities of life.
