At least not yet but someone is going to have to find a way to pay the national debt.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said before, I think we should take control of the natural resources of certain countries where we&#8217;ve had to have a military presence and take an appropriate amount of those resources to pay for our military services.<\/p>\n<p>Tack on a nice 20% profit and call it even.<\/p>\n<p>But then I&#8217;m a capitalist pig&#8230; you know one of those people that thinks profit is not by it&#8217;s nature an evil thing.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, yes I know&#8230; I&#8217;ll be sitting at the right hand of Satan&#8230; Right there with all the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>So what? At least we&#8217;ll have lights, martinis, hookers, and air conditioning! Sounds like more fun than sitting on a cloud playing a harp for all eternity.<\/p>\n<p>Just saw this news flash&#8230; President Obama has approved pay raises for congress. &nbsp;Yep! you read that correctly. While hundreds of thousands of Americans are unemployed, and millions of Americans are looking down the barrel of a tax hike the likes of which hasn&#8217;t been seen since the end of WWII congress gets pay raises.<\/p>\n<p>I can only ask WTF?<\/p>\n<p>Rank &amp; file members of congress will see their salaries go to 174,900, while the more elite members of congress will see their salaries top 250K.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m shaking my head&#8230; Jesus! I had to suck cock, lick cunt and plant my lips firmly to the ass of my boss to get a lousy 80K a year, with 30 years experience! The companies I worked for begrudged me that. Plus I had to pay for my own medical insurance, commute like a mother and if someone didn&#8217;t like the job I was doing I was shown the door.<\/p>\n<p>Yet here we have a congress that has the lowest approval rating I&#8217;ve ever seen. This group of people have had a hand in &nbsp;stalling the government, our economy, refuse to do anything constructive about it and they get a raise????<\/p>\n<p>DAMN!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d suck Harry Reids and John Boehners dick for 174K a year. Hell, I&#8217;d sleep with Nancy Pelosi for that kind of money, and you know what??? I&#8217;d feel good about doing an honest 10 minutes work.<\/p>\n<p>You know the old adage, &#8220;If you&#8217;re going to prostitute yourself, be well paid.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These people wonder why they get no respect&#8230; for christ sake, they make more money than 75% of the general populace, they&#8217;re in a position to fuck us all every day of the year, and they do!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to fire every single one of these fuckers and put some people with common sense in office. And I&#8217;d say bullshit on these salaries. 100K tops for every member of congress and they have to pay for their own fucking health care. Maybe then we&#8217;d have a government that was about being responsible with the trust, responsibility, &nbsp;and the money, &#8220;We The People&#8221; elect them to manage.<\/p>\n<p>Positive thoughts, gotta think positive thoughts&#8230;.
