With a nod to the Upright Citizens Brigade, I'd also install a Hot Chicks Room.

Personally, if you want something Turnkey, I'd go with a Tormach - it's $2500 more than the KX3, but is a significantly better machine. I only wish they had used Servos instead of Stepper motors.Cybrludite wrote:Given the current political climate, that's halfway tempting...

And I have neither steak nor VMCs.
The last one I looked at, the deal kinda fell through. Course, I would have had to use up every dime I could lay my hands on..
Knew I shoulda bought the Brute when I had the chance.

And tie congressional raises to military pay raises. Let's see how THEY like getting a 2.5% COLA, instead of their usual 10-15%.

I'm of the opinion that elected officials shouldn't get paid AT ALL.

I'd go for that! Put them up in barracks and feed them at the chow hall. Hey, they wouldn't need money, would they?HTRN wrote:I'm of the opinion that elected officials shouldn't get paid AT ALL.

Wonder how they'd feel about the $200 annual clothing allowance?

Re: Vote Mark D in 2012
If they must be paid, it should be tied directly to census data. They should get EXACTLY what the average american makes, which, last time I looked, was about 42,000.

Not paid at all? What are you guys? Daft?
Pay them each $3,000,000 per year. It will be a drop in the budget bucket, and it will make them immune to bribery. Of course, we should get to use them for target practice if they do succumb to bribery. Carrot & stick, you know.

Re: Vote Mark D in 2012
A US senator makes $165K a year. Doesn't seem to slow down the bribery much, does it? Do you honestly think paying them more will stop it?Weetabix wrote:Pay them each $3,000,000 per year. It will be a drop in the budget bucket, and it will make them immune to bribery.
