President Obama stated Monday that he would support a 20% pay reduction for retiring military personnel as well as redefining benefits for those that leave before achieving 20 year of service. So it’s only a matter of time before these recommendations are realized.
Obama has been cutting natural born citizens out of the military while simultaneously hiring illegal immigrants. He has also been ending highly successful military programs and allowing different components the military to simply degrade, prompting the Washington Times to state that Obama has our decimated our military, leaving the US only ‘marginally able’ to defend itself.
How does President Obama explain his intentions?
After the jump, see insights reported in the Washington Times article, including excerpts from Obama’s message to Congress:
The White House is so concern about having money in the Treasury and is willing to cut our retirement pay. I guess he needs it for his wife to go to Europe and he goes and plays golf Mr Krebs I agree with you that Congress and The White House should take a pay cut this year. Remember Mr President you said everyone must tighten the belt;and the Treasury needs money.
cut obama’s pay by 20% see if he likes it
It should have been a 20% INCREASE! Let the politicians take the pay cut! They don’t earn their pay anyway!
Amen
This is unconscionable. He kept wars already started going and on top of that started another war. He put soldiers in danger of losing their lives and now he cuts their retirement? What a betrayal.
Politicians, including the president, should also get a pay cut, for not doing their job to represent the taxpaying people who pay their salary.
I tell you this man is mentally ill or just plain evil with what he has done to our nation.
Cut your retirement to fifty thousand a year then we will see who cries
Does he not see they deserve more pay. If anyone should get retirement cuts its the politicians.
Yep who is surprised?
