While shouting that the minimum wage for illegal aliens working at McDonalds should be $15. an hour, President Obama used a loophole in the US Code deter a pay raise to the military. The lower pay increase translates to a Pay Grade E-4 (Corporal, Petty Officer 3d Class, Specialist 4, Senior Airman) with less than three years in service will earn less than $3.00 an hour. Under the 2016 pay scale, a Pay Grade E-1 undergoing recruit training will be paid roughly $2.15 an hour.

Asshole
This is a lie, Congress cut the PAY, this article is blaming Obama
So many people seem to be unaware that Congress controls the purse strings.
What a pathetic excuse for a human being
Makes you wonder how blind America is !! We ship millons every year to countries that ahte us and America has no clue. Just what the media tells them.
Yet he wants a raise for himself
Exactly!
A little research is in order here. “While there’s a grain of truth to what’s stated above, the headline under which it was published was quite misleading, and parts of the article text were completely false.”
U.S. military personnel actually received an overall pay increase each year between 2014 and 2016, although it was fairly small (1% to 1.3%) and less than than it would have been had President Obama not exercised his authority to override the standard formula for military pay raises written into U.S. Code.
i hope that trump puts a lot of people in jail in washington
