Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . . $180,000 FOR LIFE.

Salary of House/Senate members .. . . $174,000 FOR LIFE

This is stupid

Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE.

This is really stupid

Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . $193,400 FOR LIFE.

Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065

Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000

Here’s where the cuts should be made!

Congressional Reform Act of 2017

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.

TRUMP, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".

The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds ) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.

Trump is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message. It’s time!

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time’s gonna fly
And I’m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break ’em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out nothing at all..

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun are all
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright

I’ve gotta follow it cause everything I know
Well it’s nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I’m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I’m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

…

Brooks’ songs are some of the most important of the last several decades of country music. At his peak, Brooks helped to single-handedly bring country music to a listening audience outside the genre’s normal constraints.
Brooks’ signature vocal style delivers equally well in a variety of styles, from fun, uptempo songs to more serious, weightier fare. Brooks is not only a talented writer himself, he also has a penchant for discovering some of the strongest material in Nashville and making it his own with his powerful performances.

Our list of the Top 10 Garth Brooks Songs culls the best of all of his material across his entire chart-breaking career.

10
"Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)"
From: ‘In Pieces’ (1993)
Brooks shows his more playful side with this uptempo hit, the deliberately provocative lyrics of which are riddled with sexual innuendo. The song features an impressive vocal performance, in which Brooks delivers the lyrics in a rapid-fire manner that partially obscures many of the more suggestive lines. Many Brooks-inspired American Idol hopefuls have attempted to tackle this tongue-tying tune, but his commanding vocal charisma can’t be matched. The spitfire song was released in 1993, and reached No. 1 after an impressive six-week race to the top.
9
"Much Too Young (to Feel This Damn Old)"
From: ‘Garth Brooks’ (1989)
Brooks made his debut with "Much Too Young (to Feel This Damn Old)" in 1989 on Capitol Records. The song tells the story of a broken-down rodeo rider whose vagabond lifestyle costs him his life at home when his long-suffering love finally leaves — but the lyrics could just as easily be about a traveling musician. Brooks name-checks one of his own favorites, rodeo musician Chris LeDoux, in the song, which he co-wrote with Randy Taylor.
8
"Papa Loved Mama"
From: ‘Ropin’ the Wind’ (1991)
Lies, adultery and murder provide the ammunition behind the narrative storyline of this 1992 toe-tapper about a truck driving daddy and a mama who has needs. "Papa was a good’n / But the jealous kind / Papa loved Mama / Mama loved men / Mama’s in the graveyard / Papa’s in the pen." Co-written by Brooks and Kim Williams, the surprisingly fun song — given the subject matter — reached No. 3 in Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

7
"The River"
From: ‘Ropin’ the Wind’ (1992)
Brooks has always looked for inspirational songs to record, and "The River" may be first among them. Co-written by Brooks and Victoria Shaw, the song’s gentle, breezy opening gives way to a powerful chorus, with a lyric that encourages everyday people to experience all they can from life: "Don’t you sit upon the shoreline and say you’re satisfied / Choose to chance the rapids, and dare to dance the tide." Released as the fifth and final single from Ropin’ the Wind, the song became Brooks’ ninth No. 1 hit.
6
"Unanswered Prayers"
From: ‘No Fences’ (1990)
Brooks was the hottest star in country music by the time he released "Unanswered Prayers." Written by Brooks with Pat Alger and Larry Bastian, the song tells the story of a man who runs into his old flame at a high school game, and realizes that though he used to pray fervently that they would be together one day, his life has turned out better by being with his wife. The song’s hook, "Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers," would go on to inspire a TV movie. Brooks has said the song was based on a real-life encounter with his high school sweetheart.
5
"The Thunder Rolls"
From: ‘No Fences’ (1990)
Controversy surrounded the release of this song, when TV outlets pulled the accompanying music video because of its theme of domestic violence. Despite the setback, the clip won the CMA Awards Video of the Year in 1991 and gave Brooks his fifth straight No. 1 single. Tanya Tucker originally recorded the song, which Brooks wrote with Pat Alger; it includes a third verse that has the woman in the song going upstairs to get a gun to shoot her husband, which was omitted from Brooks’ recorded version.

4
"More Than a Memory"
From: ‘Ultimate Hits’ (2007)
Brooks made chart history in 2007 when this song debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Singles chart. It marked his first single release after a period of semi-retirement. More than a comeback, "Memory" marked the first time that Brooks had reached the pole position since 1998’s "To Make You Feel My Love," and proved that his powerful pipes didn’t suffer any retirement rust. It was written by Lee Brice, Billy Montana and Kyle Jacobs.
3
"If Tomorrow Never Comes"
From: ‘Garth Brooks’ (1989)
"If Tomorrow Never Comes" is one of several of Brooks’ songs to touch on the subject of death, which is normally not radio fare. Written by Brooks and Kent Blazy, the song talks about a man who lies awake at night wondering, if he died in his sleep, if his wife would truly understand how much he had loved her: "Is the love I gave her in the past / Gonna be enough to last / If tomorrow never comes?" Released as Brooks’ second single, it became his first No. 1 hit, and is one of his signature songs.
2
"Friends in Low Places"
From: ‘No Fences’ (1990)
"Friends in Low Places" was the first single from No Fences, which would go on to be one of Brooks’ biggest albums. Written by DeWayne Blackwell and Earl Bud Lee, the song was reportedly inspired when Lee forgot his wallet at a Nashville eatery, then quipped, "Don’t worry, I have friends in low places. I know the cook." The song spent four weeks at No. 1. A night of karaoke is never complete without a rendition of this classic, which won Single of the Year honors at both the CMA Awards and ACM Awards that year.

1
"The Dance"
From: ‘Garth Brooks’ (1989)
Rarely has a song touched the lives of as many people as Garth’s timeless tune, "The Dance." The song contains some of the most poetically beautiful lyrics, and the music video, which contains archived footage of Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and other social activists, acted as a political platform to unite people, despite gender, color and religion. Written by Tony Arata, the song was a breakout hit and has since become iconic. It more than deserves to top this list of the Top 10 Garth Brooks Songs.
