Dave, if I go in for a bypass, I hope the operating room nurse is well paid because if she is not I will have little confidence in her professionalism and competence! I don't want just anyone they could find that would accept a lower wage. The same for the doc! I accept that they make more then me, the guy paying for the ridiculous medical bills. They are professionals and they should be paid as such. I also don't want teachers in the classroom making McDonalds wages (of course I have a conflict of interest in this matter!). Believe me I hate taxes just like everyone else and it burns me up when they get wasted on things like the solar energy companies that got loan guarantee's from the government, spent it on luxury overhead items and then went belly up, leaving us all holding the bag. But what the hell are you going to do!

By the way I'm still a sarge, but retired and subject to recall! However if they do call me up I don't think they will be happy with my beer gut, LOL!
