Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell here, what questions do you have for me?

I agree whole heartedly with SGM Dawson and wonder why he has been a turn coat. As long as most of them can draw big bucks they will do anything for "WE THE PEOPLE" I just want to know when you are retiring and maybe I can take your place and do nothing except help get our country back to the way it should be. WE Retired Marines have a saying, Semper-Fi Do or Die and We are "ALWAYS FAITHFUL "

Just a few questions. First: Why did you hijack legislation that would have been incredibly beneficial for vets (Veterans Job Corps) and get it killed after it initially received unanimous bipartisan support? Second: How can you reasonably call yourself a legislator when you have stated that the goal of your party is to prevent Democrats from achieving anything that would be considered an accomplishment in an election year? Third: Why in the world would you block meaningful legislation just because a Democrat penned it? Fourth: How does that not seem like schoolyard 'us versus them' crap? Fifth: How in the world does that seem like appropriate behavior for anyone in the Senate, let alone the majority leader? Lastly: Don't you think legislators should all be trying to better this country instead of stopping that from happening? You are an absolute disgrace to the position you hold.

I'm wondering if we are going to see any responses to the questions asked here or is this just a election year exercise of a politician

Sir: I have 2 questions. I'll keep them brief. 1st: why is military retired pay linked to social security
pay when it comes to yeRly increases? Military retired pay will only receive a COLA increase if SS pay receives one. Thus, if there is no COLA increase for social security, there will be no increase for retired pay. Can it be attached to active duty pay? Realistically personnel are not retired from military service; they are placed on the inactive roles subject to recall. Why than can they not received the same pay increases as active personnel?
2nd: In the day when we are fighting a two front war, Afghanistan and the actions against terrorism (ISIS, AQI, etc) have the number of personnel on active duty been decreased. In the 1980's, during the Cold War, we had a 17 Division, 750,000, member Army and we were working towards a 500 ship Navy. Now we have less than 500,000 active duty soldiers in the Army. We now contract all logistics in theater to private corporations and employ the private sector in Intelligence collecting and personnel security. It sounds like you want a force of mercenaries rather than a force of citizens defending their home. It also appears you no longer want a military capable of supporting itself but rather depending on others to continue the fight.

I look forward to any answer you might supply

1. How can the members of the Senate and House sit by and watch business leave our shore when we have the highest corporate tax rates in the world, the most difficult regulatory environment in the world, the most cumbersome tax rules in the world. Communist China takes better care of its capitalist endeavors than we do!

2. We currently borrow .40 cents of every dollar we spend in Washington. This debt is being laid at our children's feet and will strangle their economic opportunities for 30-40 years at least. The interest on the debt is at historic lows but if it goes up we are in even more trouble. How much longer will we play this game of trying to spend our way to prosperity and ruining our children's futures? How is that compassionate or fair to future generations? Are there no longer any statesman in Washington who will do the right thing and not simply the thing that gets them through the next election cycle?

3. You have more power in your grasp than you care to exercise. The power of the purse is a BIG deal. Why have you not used your most import check on the Executive?

Are there plans to change the former spouse law that the former spouse receives 50% of the retirees money. If that law would be changed you could probably eliminate alot of Veterans being homeless. That extra 50% may not be the answer but it will help in.the end.

Greetings, sir.
I only have one question. Respectfully, what the hell are you going to do to fix the VA?

When is the Government going to repay Social Security all the money it has "borrowed" and why is it that when you can't pass the budget you threaten Social Security recipients with no pay? And why is it that you can give yourselves COLA raises but not retired people? I would love to "struggle" on $100.000 + a year.

Why are you blocking a stand-a-lone Kate's Law in the Senate? Attaching to anything else only reinforces the low public opinion that Congrees now holds -- SINGLE digits!

When will Congress engage in their leadership role of "raising an Army" and "declaring war?"
