How do you feel about Congress cutting military pay?

It's a small cut to start with, 1SG (Join to see), but that worries me. Once they take a step down that road, it's easy to continue on the path and make deeper cuts in future years.

Personally, I'm tired if congress always looking to limit or withhold pay increases or entitlements for the service member. If they want to save money, congress needs to look in house. For example, military personnel are required to fly coach but congress can book first class! Social security is broken because it's not a system congress uses for themselves. We need to hold congress accountable to being good stewards of the taxpayers dollars as much they want us to be.

1SG (Join to see) it's a small cut now, but congress will continue to come back to military cuts when they need to slash the budget. Like SPC Charles Brown mentioned, if congressional benefits and pay were tied to military benefits and pay then congress would always find another way to balance out the budget. I've said before, social security is still broke because congress doesn't use it. They have their own special retirement plans and healthcare plans. When we stop allowing them to act as if they are better than ordinary citizens, only then will be able to get things done.
