5) Why can Congress not agree and set it straight who the enemy is within the Middle East and let the military do what it is intended to do? This is pretty much like being in school and told to write a term paper on a topic that is handed to you but you can't use any resources or references except the one(s) you are given

3) Why is it that a LARGE chunk of politicians in DC continue to have a pissing contest to see who is more right and better than the other while pretty much ignoring the people that put you there?

2) A few years ago, the US Military was sent notification that because of a no agreement on the budget could be reached, there was a chance that US Military personnel might not get paid....yet politicians sure had the ability to continue to receive pay....and a few days after that possible no pay notice was sent out, I saw that there was $300 million going to assist Egypt...why is that?

Why is it when we have the House and Senate. Harry Ried can still kill legislation. Like the bill on sexual trafficking?

Sen. McConnell, Will there ever be a vote on term limits? How about requiring senators to vote, in person, on a minimum percentage, say 90%, of bills in order to retain their seats?

Is there a way to impartially vote on your own pay? I don't think a single person here can say that within reason the consequences don't matter when it comes to their own paycheck.

The 27th (and last) amendment to the Constitution, passed in 1992 makes it so that any change in pay does not take place until AFTER the next election. Therefore one cannot actually increase their own pay, but only the pay for the next elected official. It's up to the people at that point who they want to vote for to receive that pay.

I know I'm not Mitch McConnell, but just wanted to share the above.

Hello Sir,
My question for you is will the legislation for the Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) be signed off on this year so that medically retired Service Members can receive both V.A. Compensation and their retirement at the same time.
