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:
Let’s take the 20% from he & his administration instead, better yet, let’s fire this evil government administration and give our retired military a 50% pay raise!!
FACT: http://www.politicususa.com/2015/04/29/obama-stands-veterans-vowing-veto-gop-bill-cut-benefits-70000-vets.html
While Congressional Republicans wave the flag with one hand, they are trying to cut benefits for 70,000 veterans with the other. President Obama has vowed to veto the bill, and House Democrats are promising to sustain that veto.
On Tuesday, President Obama threatened to veto the Republican bill, “The Administration strongly opposes House p$#%&!@*age of H.R. 2029, making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, and for other purposes. The bill fails to fully fund critical priorities, including veterans’ medical care and military and VA construction. Furthermore, the legislation includes a highly problematic ideological rider that would constrain the President’s ability to protect our national security. If the President were presented with H.R. 2029, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.”
Republicans didn’t just take away a little bit of funding from veterans. The Republican funding bill is $1 billion short of what the VA needs in order to be able to provide care and services to the nation’s veterans. Since taking control of the House, Republicans have tried to cut veterans’ benefits on a nearly yearly basis. In 2012, House Republicans tried to cut benefits while privatizing healthcare. In 2013, House Republicans tried tocut food $#%&!@*istance for 170,000 vets and their families. In 2014,Senate Republicans blocked a veterans’ benefits bill.
Don’t be manipulated by misinformation and LIES!!
how about 100% cut for obama
I still believe the last two presidential elections were a scam, voter fraud, money & Lord only knows what other evil was involved.
Screwing us again and again and again, ect
Sooo wrong!
He is cutting military pay while giving away millions of tax payers dollars to illegal immigrants now. Why hasn’t this “terrorist” been impeached yet?
If a person would take the time to investigate the Pres. elections, it would be discovered that he was illegally elected both times but especially in 2012.
Give the illegals every thing and cuts our veterans pay and the protected his behind.
