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:
And the wealth gap continues to grow.
Fck Nobama
How much of a cut does Congress get ?? How about the other branches of government ? AND…. Demo..craps want a pay RAISE ??? Hahahaha !!
How about Obama take a Pay Cut?!!!!!!!
Watching from New Zealand, all I can think of is how far back this man has set your country
Hell cut government pensions, and welfare
As it stands now, the day we retire our pay drops in half and instead of getting paid on the 1st and the 15th of the month, you get paid only on the first. If ya run out of money before you run out of month, tough. Now they want to cut that 20% more? I can see folks running to get in on that deal!
No retirement pay for Obama and the congress none of them have done anything to deserve any pay
This is horrible, hope the military does not forgive him for this!
This will help his popularity with them
