Obongo defies Congress again; cuts military pay raises to 1% from 1.8%
« on: September 09, 2013, 02:46:18 PM »
In the midst of discussion about launching a U.S. military strike on Syria, President Obama moved Friday to reduce the size of January’s military raise.

Quote
Instead of the 1.8 percent raise due troops under a federal pay formula, Obama notified Congress he is exercising his powers as the government’s pay agent to cap the Jan. 1 increase at 1 percent.

The announcement came at 5 p.m. at the start of the Labor Day weekend ....

He wants us ruined.  Totally.  Every and all institutions undermined, demoralized, destroyed through subversion.

We can win any war, given war-time ROE, which haven't been in force since Korea.

Wow, for once he's met a group of government employees he doesn't want to give raises to.  So, no raises for the men he's talking about putting in harm's way in Syria. But every unionized, sinecured bureaucrat at some useless alphabet soup agency deserves a lavish pension plan at our expense.

Yeah, especially those who voted for the idiot must feel especially proud...

Oh wait, the Dem's throw those ballots out don't they?  Never mind...
