Prepare for an approximate doubling of military pay, then…as the retirement benefits being payable upon retirement from active duty is the justification for paying military members so little compared to the hardships of military life.

At least now it only gets paid if the member stays till retirement.

Second. Make a law that public pensions, state and local governments and the military, should not pay Old age retirement pensions, until a person is, 1. retired and 2. over 70. Where personal money has accrued I don’t suggest Stealing a persons investment, just prolonging it over their lifespan or letting it go to your heirs.

Third. No government employee should invest more in, or recieve more out of a public pension than the average worker. They can put their extra money somewhere else, but let all government pension, including Senators, Congressmen, Presidents, be based on directed investments by the person, not from the government pension.

Fixed Ladies.

What she suggests is a great plan. Boehner should go ahead with it.

$5,340,930,484,922.81 was added to the national debt under Maerose’s “Pay-Go.”

SHE SHOULD BE MARCHED OUT TOMORROW AND SHOT BY A FIRING SQUAD.

She can take fellow democrat thief Corzine straight to hell with her.

“After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: Pay as you go, no new deficit spending. Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt.”

- Maerose Prizzi’s inaugural speech as Speaker, 2007

OK, I just have to post this…

Speaker Pelosi joined President Obama and Democratic Members of Congress at a news conference this afternoon as the President expressed his strong support for legislation that would reinstitute statutory pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) rules, restoring fiscal discipline to the federal government. Budget Chairman Spratt explained, “its terms are complex, but at its core, it is a common-sense rule that everyone can understand: when you are in a hole, you should quit digging.”

After the press conference, Speaker Pelosi issued the following statement:

Pay-as-you-go budget accountability has been a centerpiece of Democratic budget discipline since the early 1980s. In the 1990s, when a Democratic Congress and President Bill Clinton were able to implement this discipline, we reversed the huge deficits of the Reagan-Bush years and produced four years of budget surpluses while funding American priorities. That fiscal discipline helped produce an economic boom with rising household incomes for millions of Americans.

But when President George W. Bush came to office, he and Congressional Republicans abandoned the PAYGO rule. A projected surplus of $5.6 trillion was allowed to collapse into more than $5.8 trillion in deficits — a turnaround of more than $11 trillion in the wrong direction.

Since the first day Democrats reclaimed the majority in 2007, PAYGO has been part of the rules that govern how the House conducts its business. Now we are fully committed to enacting PAYGO rules into law with enforceable consequences.

As we have shown before, we can fund America’s priorities while abiding by the strict rules of pay-as-you-go accountability. Working with President Obama, we will establish PAYGO as the discipline for all future spending and tax policy. And when we do, our economy, our citizens, and our future generations will achieve greater stability and greater security.

CUTTING THE DEFICIT

In 2007 and 2008, the House passed a budget resolution that brings the budget into surplus by 2012 — for the first time since President Bush took office.

This year’s budget slashes the deficit by nearly two-thirds in four years (by 2013) and even further by 2014, to 3.0% of GDP.

It also provides for health care reform, critical to reducing the deficit — with reduced costs, affordable coverage and improved health reducing the strain on businesses, families, and federal and state budgets.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO BUDGET DISCIPLINE

The first thing the Democratic-led Congress did in January 2007 was reimpose PAYGO budget rules that Republicans had let lapse — placing them in the House and Senate rules. The PAYGO rules had helped President Clinton turn over an historic budget surplus to President Bush–who quickly turned it into a record deficit. Simply put: Under PAYGO, Congress can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar.

Budget Deficits/Surpluses in Billions

This year’s budget reaffirmed our commitment to statutory PAYGO–to make it law.

Now, on June 9, President Obama and several Democratic Members of Congress, including Blue Dog Democrats, announced an effort to get statutory PAYGO enacted into law.

Maerose takes the gavel, 2007: $8,670,596,242,973.04 ($8.67 trillion)

Maerose hands the gavel to Boehner, 2011: 14,011,526,727,895.85 ($14.01 trillion)

$5,340,930,484,922.81 was added to the national debt under Maerose’s “Pay-Go.”

I refuse to watch any videos of Granny Rictus McBotox until someone puts in little CGI bubbles popping around her head….

What’s with Pelosi’s waving her hands around? Is she drying off the polish from her recent manicure? Directing an imaginary band of felllow travelers? Directing traffic for another San Francisco Gay Day parade?

She also did that in the PC where she was asked about her age. It’s bizarre, like she’s waving away a housefly that only she sees.

straight out of FDR’s playbook from before he was elected president
until he died, he never cared about recovery and that’s why it never happened until he was gone. Central power was the objective as taught by his mentor Woodrow Wilson.

Your party is going to damage physicians, IT specialists, small business owners, etc.

Professionals of all stripe.

But, “is going to”?

I guess they were in a Democratic coma when Maerose walked through the Tea Party crowds with the CBC and other leadership with her HUGE gavel on the way to pass Obamacare.

Head-to-toe in LAVENDER, if IIRC.

Was their spit dripping off the mallet as her flunkies had claimed?

Can anyone resurrect a clip of that hag gloating over her pay-go bill when she broke the glass ceiling and grabbed the gavel?

I’m looking, but I just saw this:

TIME: Boehner’s Large Gavel: Why Is New Speaker’s Gavel So Big?

Jan 6, 2011 – As outgoing Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi officially handed over her job to … Boehner’s gavel is so big, it resembles a croquet mallet.

Translation: I am not going to give an inch on Republicans’ suggestions, but Republicans better start doing what we want — ’cause that’s how compromise works, dammit!

SPOT ON!!!!

Work, you bastards. You eat, you work. Retirement is not supposed to be a lifestyle. We are not rich enough to allow a huge chunk of our population – maybe half – to play golf for 25 years.

Take a look at nancy’s pic..that should take care of it.
