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:
Lets start with cutting all the people that have retired from congress with those big retirement packages. Cut them 20 % frist.
So who are the ones getting cut? The ones tht haven’t been there 29 years yet?
The up side of the lay-offs is there will be 40,000 trained troops to help save this country and not be under the govt.’s thumb..
Sorry Dave but the same Republican’s that wrote that bill will now complain because he signed it into law and complain because he won’t put boots on the ground he should veto every bill they write like they have obstructed every good thing he has tried to do
What a POS Obama is, and yet Congress sits on its’ hands and does nothing to curtail him. Vote’m ALL out! They ALL suck!
This man has never supported our military!!!!
Definitely reduce Obama’s pay and see how he likes it. And he has ruined the country rather than defending it.
Only if he takes a 50% cut in all pay and benefits also. And no more big fat vacations !!
How about giving him a 100% pay cut? Then fire all but one of Michelle’s “social secretaries”?
I think Obama has fleeced America enough and filled his pockets with what does’nt belong to him How about Obama care for Barry and no pension or secret service protection when he’s out. That should save we taxpayer stupids a sh$(pot full of dough, Huh Barium !! Enema
