Did I say it was?The guy that cleans the street, processes your taxes or gets you your driver's license hasn't sworn to give his life for you, has he?Exactly. Teachers earn their pay...in fact, they should be paid a hell of a lot more than we do. The guy that cleans the street, processes your taxes or gets you your driver's license all earn their pay and benefits too, but THEY are the ones the RW is going after like rabid dogs. Why aren't the "conservatives" looking to cut the pay and benefits of the military? Aren't they "public servants" bloating at the public trough?
Military pay is not bloated. Anyone who says it is is simply not connected to reality.
Neither is the pay for TEACHERS (or cops or firefighters or the guy that issues your driver's license). Their pay isn't bloated either.
It would be nice if people would argue against what I actually say, instead of arguing against things they THINK I say.
Thank you for your service. Bummer about the pay cut.Oh, BTW, not only am I retired military, I'm one of those "bloated government workers" that just had my fucking pay cut 3% plus a forced furlough which cut my pay by another 2%.
