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:
I AM REALLY IMPRESSED THAT THE PRESIDENT IS SO WILLING TO HELP OUR COUNTRY THAT HE IS GOING TO TAKE A PAY CUT OF 20%. I GUESS THAT MEANS ALL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE A 20% PAY CUT. AT THAT RATE WE WILL BE PAYING OUR NATIONAL DEBT OFF IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. AMEN
20% cut in retirement? Did any government employees get a pension cut? No….Just like Lois Learner got $120,000 bonus when she was laid off until her pension time was available…Government pay is never cut except military…This is not what they were told when they enlisted.
Don’t cut the military!!!!
Bet he wasn’t have the guts to cut congress pay even 1%, or his own 100%.
Sounds like he is taking his cues from Hoffa, cutting Teamster pensions.
Absolutely evil he’s aiding Isis
I think the Military should get a raise more money for all who serves.
What a traitor, POS, SOB, Ahole, filthy liar, Muslim terrorist !!!
September 5th, rally with your community. Spread the word. Send the message to Congress, ” Impeach Obama “! Before it’s too late!
Since he is the commander in chief (lol) does this mean he cut his retirement salary by 20% also? ??
