I was right behind you in 2009. Best move I ever made.
I think it is despicable that these people (Obozo, Panetta, et al) all are living high on the hog, while they expect those who actually place their lives at risk are expected to live on little more than table scraps. Hitlery is getting away with her dereliction of duty resulting in the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi (and who knows how many others in other locations). Panetta is getting away with his role in that, and other things. And, now this. When will the Civil War begin? It’s past time to remove these traitors.
The above is a rough example. If you take into account the volatility of the oil industry and the cost of food, health care, and other expenditures, they that deficit of spending power grows.
What’s funny here is the fact they’ll defend this as an increase, which it is. However, if any proposals come from the right with smaller budget increases, the left and MSM will scream cut.
Yes 900-1800 dollars a payday is outraigeous. I don’t know what you guys are talking about. The 900 dollars is a GS-4 pay and a GS-11 is the 1800 a payday. Who knew that 36000 as average was so huge. I guess civilians making an average of 68,000 a year don’t understand what making a lot is and what not making a lot means. I used to think that civilian government workers make a ton too until I retired from the military and became a government worker. It is SAD how low the civilians government workers get. But the reputation is always such lies and I don’t know how to get that changed. I get $1096.00 every two weeks. I guess I am living off the hog according to some of you.
Liar!!!!! That never happened. It made idiots like yourself believe it though. It was mentioned by Obama but never implemented. Good job making yourself the cool guy bashing Americans.
Liar! 12 days a year vacation is unreasonable? That is what i get as the evil Government Employee you bash.....Disgusting!!!!!
I’m sure Paneta, Obama, and the rest of the commies will freeze their own salaries, in solidarity.
Why does the MSM continually misrepresent facts?
Yeah I am not happy the Clowns in Washington are getting pay raises BUT they deem the military needs to have their projected pay raise cut but dam it the Media needs to get it right for once!
DID NOTHING? Where have you been? They Voted Barry Hussein a 2nd Term so "they be gettin thems propers like Obammyphones and Free Housing!"
"Wees da Peoples" has spoken!
One would hope racists everywhere who voted for Obama bc he is half- black would understand him and his administration better. It is not about race, it is simply about power and control. Yes General, I mean you. It is an insult to my brothers and sisters in arms to cut their pay, if they were unio,n folks would argue about the lack of living wage for military servants. I agree with everyone’s suggestion. President and Mrs O.. let’s start with you.
There is a difference between a lie (a deliberate mistruth) and an error (because the Obama pay raise was blocked by a legislator). “Never implemented” is also inaccurate. I guess we should all live in Nancy Pelosi’s world of passing the bill and then finding out what was in it rather than taking issue with the proposals in it.
HELL even this “pay cut” is a cut in future growth and actually a raise.
“Panetta will recommend to Congress that military salaries be limited to a 1% increase in 2014.”
Choose your insults and slurs (liar and idiot) more carefully next time.
A lie is a lie is a lie no matter how much you try to dress it up. Good try though.
It will be a cut if inflation is figured into the “raise”.
I’m saddened by this. We ask people to risk life and limb in our defense, but we cut their salaries instead of cutting something else? This is a government without any moral bearings, that panders to lobbying groups rather than doing what’s right and decent.
Hey, the money to give illegals freebies has to come from somewhere! As for the Joint Chiefs, they are nothing but sleazoid politicians.
