Budget cuts.

So, the government pans on cutting military pay down to 25% while cutting the benefits that members of our armed forces have signed up for due to a lack of proper funding... The average American household makes $50k per year. The average senator makes about $200k per year. The president makes $400k per year, and about $200k per year after his term with another $200k in benefits (not including the secret service, healthcare or flight vouchers that they get for life). The underestimated cost of war is well over $180 Billion dollars per year. But cutting soldier's (who make less than half of the average American's income) is the way that they decided to save money?

There are no words to express my disgust for "our" government.
