but I am sooooo aggravated with the current 'budget battle' in Congress. I think it's ridiculous that our 'leaders' can't just sit down and hammer it out. If a shutdown occurs that could affect military pay.
That's right. MILITARY PAY. The men and women who sacrifice so much to carry out the orders of those same politicians that can't agree on how to balance the national budget. I realize that it's more complicated than I'm making it out to be. But it burns me, just the same...
Since even before my husband joined the Air Force, I have had a problem with our government. Not necessarily who's there, but how they get there. The whole election system weeds out people who could be great leaders, but might not be the best fundraisers. So instead of voting for the best candidates, we end up casting a ballot for 'the lesser of two evils'.
Which is how you end up with situations like the one we're facing today...
So true, daughter, so true.
