54. This is what an active duty Marine
told me a couple of weeks ago. The young man that use to work for me and his mother still does. We got into a conversation about George Bush and he is very, very pro Bush. I couldn't understand how the heck he could be that way, considering the lies and Iraq and all that. He told me none of that really matter to him. Bu$h was great and that he's gotten a raise every year since he took office. Last year was a whopping 8%.

Now, I did not ask him if these were across the board raises or was he just one of the lucky ones? But I have no reason not to believe this fellow, he has always been a very honest person otherwise.
