My son has cerebral palsy and has had numerous surgeries done at Shriner's. Anyone wants a dose of reality go to a Shriner's. My wife has Crohn's, Celiac, and seizures. She doesnt work because of that. Yet this worthless government we have says she can work part time. The illegals get everything they want. We need to shut our borders down and take control of this country instead of letting worthless illegals in who get free everything and dont pay taxes. This applies to both Democrats and Republicans. If I was a doctor and an illegal was in labor I would make sure im on the Mexican side of the border. Why should this country have to deal with another burden on the tax payer's.

the raises aren't set by what party is in charge:
U.S. Code dictates a rather complex equation for military pay raises, based on the Employment Cost Index, a measure compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to track the costs of labor for businesses. Military pay increases by "the percentage (rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent) by which the ECI for the base quarter of the year before the preceding year exceeds the ECI for the base quarter of the second year before the preceding calendar year (if at all)." Specifically, the code states, that’s the ECI for wages and salaries of private industry workers.
