European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 31, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11arm Landers opposition to pay raise called Correct i m glad the american people woke up in opposition to the pay increase for top government officials including Congress.

Secondly the front face of our Congress is saying we can t balance our budget while the Back face is saying there is plenty of Money for our own personal the implication Here is me first. Thirdly of course is the tremendous Cost to taxpayers with nothing of value in return we need fair honest civic minded government managers not Money grabbing self entered Powe Mongera.

Re member Charity received every cent of his government pay while he served i n Congress for eight years. Do you feel this Altitude from the present administration i Don t. If our elected officials Are not dedicated primarily to service to country we have elected the wrong people. This does not however release any of us from our obligation to police our own conduct. I you Are taking unnecessary try trips or stocking your Home with government supplies you arc contributing to the prob Lem As much As our elected officials. With a 52 trillion plus Federal debt the Money you Are wasting now May turn out to be your own. When the credit limit of the government is exceeded there will be no Choice but to take the excess from the american people. It May be your retirement pay thai it comes from. Think about it. -.-. Ail american citizens were underestimated by the big boys in Washington and we won an important Bailie. We must continue the pressure and continue on to win the War. Maybe then we can leave our children a country worthy of their heritage while instilling in them a will to preserve it isl it.
