I signed a contract with the Untied States Federal Government, who did you sign a contract with?
My contract said that I was to give up some pay for a pension and a health plan. I signed when I joined the United States Federal Government.
Who is this contract for? It is certainly not what our Congressmen signed when they Pledged their loyalty to the United States Constitution and decided to work for their constituents and not the "Contract From America". Do I see a hint of treason here?

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all."
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Jimmy signed a contract with his company and I signed one with my boss. The contracts signed with the government haven't been honored as promised. But our country is in a jam and even though there have been no raises for us in the last 3 years, some people have lost their jobs, so we are still much better off than those people. We just have to be patient.
