Although I may not agree with Rush on a few things, for the most part I think he is right. My dad was telling me about the pay scale when he was in, the early 1970s. I'm sure, unlike in the private sector, cost of living increases have been few and far between. I agree we need to raise the pay rates for our service men and women. We could find the money in other bloated departments, and this would save us from having to raise taxes. I also don't see why they can't collect social security. I am not a fan of the system what so ever, but, there are people who put next to nothing into the system and come out with wads of money when they recieve their checks, this at the same time that if/when I would be able to collect I would have a decent amount of money I put in and would not even come close to getting it out, and I'm talking the principle amount. But that's my rant on the issue
