FU**ING BULLSH**

What a "title" right?!

I'm highly PO'd. The US Government has decided to not pay the military (among other workers). It is disgusting that people that are sent unwillingly to "War" zones, are having there paychecks cut. While people in Congress continue to get paid. Here's an idea, why not cut the pay of people in Congress, who earn more then enough money, and use the cuts to continue to pay the military?!

What I fail to understand in this country is why football players, baseball players and movie stars get paid so much money. More money then they could possibly need, and then they complain because they aren't getting paid enough. Do they not play for the love of the sport? Do they only do it for the big paycheck? Lets face it all they do is throw/hit a ball or stand in front of a camera. What about the people out there that work there asses off to keep them safe and comfortable. I'm not just talking about the military, what about Police Officers, Fire Fighters and Ambulance workers. They don't get paid nearly as much yet, they have a much more dangerous job that deserves to be paid in a higher bracket. But the thing about those men and women is they don't do it for the money they do it for the love of it, they do it because when they were little that is what they wanted to be when they grew up.

I get it a lot of people want to be NFL stars and baseball players and actors/singers. But what I am failing to understand is why do they get paid so much? What they do isn't dangerous, sure its entertaining but in my opinion its not worth millions of dollars per player. Its like people in Congress they don't like the thought of having to cut there own paycheck, or having to go without it... but they will cut from military workers. They will cut from people that don't get paid quite so much. How selfish can people be?! SERIOUSLY?! Greedy people work in Washington DC.

So now come a week from today, I have to find a way to pay the rent, the car, the electric and the phone bill? Please indulge me on how I should go about doing that? Take out of my savings, sure, but the savings will only last for so long before even that is all gone.
