When one person can stop the government from doing their job it is time to rethink the equation. Some suggest this is a new form of ransom or even a sell out. When one person can stop our progress you have to start looking under some rocks to see which one he or she climbed out from under.

It is good to make a valid point in our world but to harm the rest of us with destructive behavior is not the oath taken when elected. Last time I checked. Anyone that would punish volunteers (Active Military) who choose to work for less money for the good of the rest of us, has never had anyone around them in a military family.
No skin in the game so to speak.
I propose we have a national online vote where we can suspend the state the destructive politician is from, participation in our union. Basically throw them out and let them fend for themselves. We can put a black patch over one star in our flags and move on.
Playing ego games with our nation's military personnel and their families is about as anti American as I can think of.

The Next World Order 

If people are not going to do what is best for the group then what is the purpose of our union with them. It reminds me of when I was a kid and the spoiled brat took the marbles and went away. The game did stop as this one has, but this is our nations military.

GoThink.
