Cut Huge Congressional Retirement Package

Posted by JTOM 573 days ago (Suggestion)
While you are capping the salaries of CEOS, work to lower the shamefully expensive retirement packages given to Congressional members. They're happy to wail about jobs, lost homes, and huge financial scams, but when it comes to hypocrisy, all of them accept the huge lifetime retirement package. If we applied the grossly unfair CPO and WEP provisions teachers (some teachers, some states) have to accept, they wouldn't earn a nickel after their service. Read More »

I suggest that they eliminate football, and spend all that time and energy studying how to make PEACE in the world...how to eliminate the need for their colleges.

...seriously!! Read More »

Illegal education

Posted by Marg 577 days ago (Suggestion)
If you are going to give illegal aliens money for education out of the U.S. citizens pocketbook then make them work for it and take English classes and become U.S. citizens the right way. Make them fill out the necessary forms and have the documentation they need to start paying taxes into the fund that is giving them their education. NO one wants to deny them education IF they are U.S. citizen Read More »
I am tired of hearing how we are cleaning up the republicans mess.

The people that are currently in government positions have a vested interest in making sure that we remain divided in this country. In other words, Republicans desperately need you Republican voters to believe that you need them to save you from the socialist Democrats. Likewise, Democrats desperately need you Democratic voters Read More »
I live in a rural town and have seen tons of good Americans lose their jobs to cheap labor. This is not right. Half the time, the money illegal immigrants earn is sent back to their home town. Hmmmm - look at the economy now. Do you think this could have been a factor? Read More »

Don't Crack down on Gun Control

Posted by republicanpride 571 days ago (Suggestion)
Do not take away our weapons! It is our constitutional right to own them, by making it harder for good people to get weapons you will make us more vulnerable to criminals. Criminals don't go to the store and buy weapons from WalMart they get them illegally. I don't understand how cracking down on policies for citizens with good backgrounds is gonna help stop crime in any way. Read More »

WELFARE SYSTEM

Posted by kimmers42 577 days ago (Suggestion)
My suggestion is that anyone who receives government assistance should be liable to take a drug test to receive that money. (i.e.: Welfare Most of Americans have to take a drug test in order to receive a job. I feel its only fair that people getting government money (which I pay taxes into). There are a lot people who abuse the system. The system is suppose to be there to help people and thei Read More »

Allowing use of your 401k fund with out penlty

Posted by walkmoo 573 days ago (Suggestion)
I have some money in my 401k that I could use to pay off credit card debit if I could get into it without penalty's.
I know it is money for retirement but I need that money right now to pay bills. I am struggling but paying the house payments first, and the credit card companies continue to raise the interest rates, charge late payments and the debt continues to rise, even though I'm no longer using the credit cards or lines of credit.

Army and Navy FOOTBALL teams? WHY? WHY!

Posted by starzpizzeria 567 days ago (Suggestion)
The horrible, upbeat recruitment ads...offering great opportunities..."be army strong"...disgusting!

These recruiters are lower than assistant crack whores, and much less useful.

Seriously, does anyone see the need for army and navy college football? What does it prepare the young soldiers for? Let's get young people good jobs so they do not need to join the military as a last resort.

Do the recruiters and the parents know that young people realize that when they are encouraged to join the military, it is because they have nowhere else to go?

We can recruit prison inmates to enlist, and the mentally ill. LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!!! Read More »

Milking the welfare system

Posted by Phatmama36 573 days ago (Suggestion)
get the people who are able to work off, give them a short time limit to get a job and remove them,these people are draining the government needlessly. they get food stamps and sell them,( I worked at a gro. store where they did it in front of me, they offer to pay for someones gro. in exchange for cash), I had to use the welfare system when my son almost died and I had to pay it back, and I was a single mother, working full time, I almost lost my home because of it. you need to have the welfare system for the elderly and TRULY disabled not these folks that just don't want to work.If these folks got jobs and off welfare then that should help put money back instead of having to pull funds from other areas to cover the deficiencies.I have heard these folks brag about how they have the enti Read More »

Legalize Marijuana

Posted by toorestless 579 days ago (Suggestion)
You know somebody was going to say it first...
Legalize marijuana for sale at federal cannabis stores, but charge a high amount per ounce. Use the proceeds to fund drug rehabilitation centers for harder drugs like alcohol, heroin, cocaine and others. Use any excess proceeds to fund other health care programs. Read More »
