How does Congress justify voting annual salary increases for it's members, while not providing the active duty and retired military, disabled Veterans, and Social Security beneficiaries annual Cost of Living increases?

How do they justify giving themselves a 100% retirement with free top of the line healthcare while working feverishly to deny working Americans retirement value, increases, and make their healthcare cost so much they can't use it?

TSgt Hunter Logan - I didn't know about the free college for that many people in the 'ruling' class. Very disheartening to hear.

Why have you not sponsored and passed HR 969 to show your support for sick & disabled Blue Water sailors from the Vietnam War?

As with many, we see the fact that Congress and other members of the Government continue to see pay raises yet the military is dramatically effected and if anything receive a 1 or 2% raise at times if we are lucky. Considering the debt the Nation has, have the members of Congress ever considered giving up their raises or taking a lower salary to give back to the military or the Nation?

Is congress at any time going to vote for an increase in military spending?

Shouldn't the question be more directed? The Military budget is a huge part of our national spending. However most of it goes in to the pockets of large corporations. How about increasing military spending directed at improving the lives of our soldiers and veterans and not just the contractors?

Senator, don't you agree that to have real change we might consider looking at Independent parties? After-all, both the Democrats and the Republicans; were formed over 150 years ago
Additional Questions: What is needed (your opinion) to get us United as a people?
How can we combat these various terror cells that keep making the headlines?
Are you aware that volunteers and Professional responders alike, that volunteered to search for survivors after the events of 9/11: are not receiving the health care they urgently need?
Are you for the legalization of Cannabis as a recreational and medicine drug?

How do you really feel about the presumptive Republican nominee for President?

I appreciate your service. Libertarianism is an economic ideology that masquerades itself as a political party. How will the GOP compete with calls for a third party and keep itself from imploding during this election cycle?

CPT Jack Durish The Senator tried to push his book, got hard questions, and scampered away. It seems like great media fodder.

Thank you for being here Senator.
2. I would like to know what bills are you willing to put forth to an actual vote on floor; that will benefit the over 3K Veterans that are homeless in America today?

I want to know why we Veterans have sacrificed for our country only to have our Leaders, those who are supposed to represent us, are selling us down the toilet?
