Budget Cuts

In regards to where the cuts should lie within the Debt, here is some food for thought... Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,000 FOR LIFE Salary of Speaker of the House ............$223,500 FOR LIFE Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ...... $193,400 FOR LIFE Average Salary of a teacher ................ $40,065 ANNUALLY Average Salary of Soldier ...................DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN $38,000 ANNUALLY For the men and women of the Armed Forces that are risking their lives for OUR safety, that is all they get and that's not including their Combat Pay. And look at the Teachers, they risk they're lives dealing with some of the youths of today that are unruly. There is a BIG, MAJOR problem with those two figures. I think we found where the cuts should be made! (This was a post on Facebook) Until Next Time, Jeane' Elliott Bennett http://www.JeaneEBennett.com
