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:
How can that be????????
Obama should take a 20 % cut in pay and have it applied to the military.
it is time we, the people, voted on politicians salaries, instead of them deciding what they want to make. Most don’t even do work to earn minimum wages. Since they work for us, that is how it should be.
Or 80% pay cut
So cut his retirement pay 20%. The military protects and serves. Can he say the same?
well then that should go for our government including congress and obama and the rest of our federal government. suppose all the military personnel quit and refused to do the fighting overseas. then what will our government do.
How about a pay cut for the do nothing congress and the waste that we give them for retirement
whatiece of c**p this loser is…
Wander if we the people make it hard on the X president of the United States of America, because he’s not doing a good job, I think I will ask Jesus about that ,he’s much more powerful that O Bomb us…
Congress appropriates funding.
