As most Americans are unaware, by federal law those serving in the nation's military are suppose to receive a yearly pay raise in accordance with a formula utilized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The House of Representatives traditionally uses whatever figure the BLS sends them to factor into any given Fiscal Year Budget to be sent to the Commander-in-Chief. But Barack Obama has again decided to use an emergency loophole in the US Code to keep the formulated pay raise from the troops.
Yet as reported by the Alabama Media Group (The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times, the Mobile Press-Register) on Aug. 31, 2015, members of the Armed Forces will see a barely visible 1.3 percent increase in their proverbial pay envelopes starting New Year's Day. But as reported by the Heritage Foundation on Aug. 7, 2015, those in the service were initially slated to receive a 2.3 percent hike in pay.
With the Family Obama still shaking the sand out of their shoes from yet another taxpayer subsidized Cape Cod vacation, Obama used the Chief Executive's "economic emergency" provision to bypass the BLS formula, the House of Representatives, and Title 5 U.S.C., sections 5303(b) and 5304 (a) to cut military pay. Citing multiple sources here, Obama used the same excuse to slash the legally mandated pay raises from Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Gotta feed, house and provide spending money to those illegal alien invaders don’t ya know. We’ve got to keep that ol’ economy boomin’!
Mullah Obama isn't going give our military ...the time of day. Miserable scumbag.
that and continue to fund planned infanticide.
Really, this is unfair criticism!
How can The Despot and The First Leech afford to take their
elaborate vacations and golf holidays unless they make some spending cuts.

Or, is Obama lying?
Actually, after the Republicans pass this, they can brag they cut government spending. This has Paul Ryan written all over it.
This is going to be the most hated and despised individual post presidency. Where will he live?
I bet that just cutting out two vacations for Michel Obama would pay the amount needed for the military cost of living adjustment.
I can’t imagine being in today’s military and having to take orders from this POS or defend him.
Obama could go live in his very own Obama cultural center in Kenya.
Obozo cuts military pay three years in a row, guts the national defense, yet funds untold numbers of Somali and Syrian muzzie-trash immigrants into the USofA, as well as countless disease-ridden, vermin infested illegal alien invaders across our southern border and I ask why hasn’t this lawless, unConstitutional dirtbag been impeached already?
That!s not the true unemployment rate. It’s more like 40%. I hope Trump outlaws BS number like the Labor gives us.
I’ll take “Spineless Collaborator GOPe Leadership in Congress” for $400.
Please Lord, end our suffering...
Ophonybama is, among other multiple character flaws, a LIEberal.
LIEberals LIE!
Does that answer your question?
He cuts the pay of all those who serve and protect the USA...military and border patrol!
